How close is it?
Projected margin: Conservatives by 7.7 points (2024: Conservatives by 6.8). Conservatives win Skeena if their lead province-wide is more than about −4.4 points; the poll average puts it at +3.3.
Province-wide lead in points (CON minus NDP). The black line is where Skeena changes hands, assuming every region moves together.
Rest of B.C. polling
Skeena is projected from the Rest of B.C. poll average: Conservatives 48.1%, NDP 33.4%.
This is a model, not a poll of Skeena: pollsters do not survey individual ridings. It starts from the 2024 result here and moves it by the change in the Rest of B.C. polling average, so it does not know about candidates, incumbency or local campaigns. See the British Columbia poll average for the method, or open the projection in the interactive map to test your own scenario.
2024 election results
Claire Rattée (CON) won Skeena in the October 19, 2024 British Columbia general election with 51.2% of the vote, 824 votes (6.8 points) ahead of Sarah Zimmerman (NDP). 12,194 valid votes were counted.
British Columbia votes on October 24, 2026, and all 93 seats are up for election. This map shows the 2024 results, the most recent completed election, on the same 93 riding boundaries. Many MLAs have changed party or sat as independents since 2024, so a riding's colour here is not always its current MLA's party. This page will be updated with the 2026 results once Elections BC publishes them.
