A final count triggered automatic recounts in close races, as well the inclusion of approximately 65,000 out-of-district and mail-in ballots.

[6][7] The Electoral Boundaries Commission was required to complete a redistribution of seats following the 2020 general election, and the government subsequently appointed commissioners in October 2021.

[10][11] The same section, though, makes the fixed election date subject to the lieutenant governor's prerogative to dissolve the Legislative Assembly as they see fit (in practice, on the advice of the province's premier or following a vote of non-confidence).

Falcon endorsed the BC Conservatives, saying "John Rustad and I haven't always agreed on everything, but one thing is clear: our province cannot take another four years of the NDP".

[46] Mike Bernier (Peace River South) pointed out that Falcon, as leader, only had the power to withdraw the party from the forthcoming contest, but could not do so on behalf of the individual candidates.

[49] There was further fallout in September, when a mailout was sent to BCU's members urging them to renew their membership, under a letterhead bearing the name of John Yap (who had resigned as party president the previous month).

[50] BCU also secured a commitment from the Legislature to cover any shortfall in meeting severance obligations for their staff, estimated to cost up to $1 million.

Former MLA and current media personality Jas Johal released a file that was subsequently confirmed to be a working draft, although incomplete.

[67] Karin Kirkpatrick expressed the view that the Conservatives had brought this phenomenon on themselves in believing that BCU members would follow Falcon's lead in switching over.

[111] BC NDP leader David Eby criticized these statements, asserting that such beliefs are based on internet conspiracies and that Rustad could not be trusted on health policy.

[114][115] On October 1, Bowinn Ma, NDP candidate in North Vancouver-Lonsdale, announced the party would connect West Vancouver and Metrotown, Burnaby with a Bus Rapid Transit line, which will be entirely separated from traffic.

[117] On September 21, John Rustad chose to kick off the campaign in CRAB Park, a homeless encampment near Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

[118] On September 22, Rustad announced that he would close all safe injection sites in the province, and replace them with mental health and addictions treatment centres.

[119][120] He referred to the sites as "drug dens", and pledged to end the decriminalization and safe supply policy introduced by the NDP government.

[120] The following day, Elenore Sturko clarified that the party did not plan to immediately close all of the safe injection sites at once as implicated by Rustad, but transition them to treatment centres gradually.

He also intended to repeal the BC's Step Code policy and Net-Zero mandate, which he claimed to have driven the construction cost up by 30–40%.

On top of the NDP's transit-oriented policy, Rustad further assured they will amend the bill to require grocery stores and small businesses to be within walking distance of homes.

Eby singled out five candidates who had perpetuated conspiracy theories regarding the results of the 2020 United States presidential election, Sheldon Clare for comparing gun control to Japanese internment camps, and Bryan Breguet for his "bigoted and sexist views".

[129][130] During a speech to his supporters on election night, Rustad pledged to make it "as difficult as possible" for the NDP if they formed a minority government, in order to prevent "any more destruction in the province".

Shortly after the final count was concluded, Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin invited David Eby to continue as Premier of British Columbia.
