The 2013 British Columbia general election took place on May 14, 2013, to elect the 85 members of the 40th Parliament of British Columbia to the Legislative Assembly in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The British Columbia Liberal Party (BC Liberals) formed the government during the 39th Parliament prior to this general election, initially under the leadership of Premier Gordon Campbell then after his resignation, Christy Clark. The British Columbia New Democratic Party (BC NDP) under the leadership of Carole James, and then Adrian Dix, formed the Official Opposition. The BC Green Party under the leadership of Jane Sterk and the BC Conservative Party under John Cummins were also included in polling, although neither party had representation at the end of the 39th Parliament.
The Liberal Party won its fourth straight majority; Clark was defeated in her riding, but she was re-elected to the legislature in a subsequent by-election in Westside-Kelowna on July 10, 2013,"B.C.'s Premier Christy Clark wins byelection, returns to legislature" https://web.archive.org/web/20160106223049/http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/07/11/bcs_premier_christy_clark_wins_byelection_returns_to_legislature.html January 6, 2016. Toronto Star, July 10, 2013. after Liberal MLA Ben Stewart stepped down on her behalf."Ben Stewart steps aside in Kelowna for B.C. Premier Christy Clark" https://web.archive.org/web/20190111004508/http://www.vancouversun.com/news/stewart+steps+aside+kelowna+premier+christy+clark/8483307/story.html January 11, 2019. Vancouver Sun, June 5, 2013. The NDP remained the official opposition, losing two seats, and the Green Party won its first-ever seat with future leader Andrew Weaver being elected in the Victoria-area riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head.
Clark's Liberals had consistently trailed the opposition New Democrats by multiple percentage points in every public opinion poll throughout the campaign."Why were polls so wrong about the B.C. election?" https://web.archive.org/web/20251230092845/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/why-were-polls-so-wrong-about-the-b-c-election-1.1411026 December 30, 2025 . CBC News, May 15, 2013. Even poll results released on the last day of the campaign suggested that the New Democrats had an eight to nine percentage point margin over the Liberals."Why were the polls completely wrong about the B.C. election?" https://web.archive.org/web/20170303123137/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/why-were-the-polls-completely-wrong-about-the-bc-election/article11935336/ March 3, 2017. The Globe and Mail, May 15, 2013. Only one pollster, Forum Research, had released a poll which suggested that the Liberals were close enough that a victory was even possible for them, although even that poll had the New Democrats ahead by two percentage points. That the Liberals not only won an upset victory, but even slightly increased their majorities in the seat count and popular vote, led to significant media debate about the quality of opinion polling in Canadian elections; some, including former premier Mike Harcourt (who resigned from the NDP as a party member in the aftermath of the election), believed that the polls did not sufficiently register a late collapse in NDP support among working-class voters after Dix publicly opposed an expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.Bailey Ian Former premier Mike Harcourt quits B.C. NDP in nasty public split https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/former-premier-mike-harcourt-quits-bc-ndp-in-public-and-nasty-split/article17751648/ The Globe and Mail September 30, 2026
This would be the last time a majority government was formed by the BC Liberal Party and the last majority government formed by a right-of-center party until the BC Conservatives' win in the 2026 election.
Timing
Section 23 of British Columbia's Constitution Act provides that general elections occur on the second Tuesday in May of the fourth calendar year after the last election.Constitution Act, s. 23 https://web.archive.org/web/20110920050249/http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_96066_01#section23 September 20, 2011. As an election was held on May 12, 2009, the next election was scheduled for May 14, 2013. The same section, though, makes the fixed election date subject to the Lieutenant Governor's right to dissolve the Legislative Assembly as he or she sees fit.

Background
After leading the BC Liberals for 17 years, Gordon Campbell announced he would resign as Premier and party leader in November 2010. This was seen as the result of opposition to the Harmonized Sales Tax, which was very unpopular with voters.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/campbells-stunning-resignation-leaves-fate-of-party-hst-up-in-the-air/article1784300/ Campbell's stunning resignation leaves fate of party, HST up in the air November 4, 2010 May 19, 2011 Globe and Mail July 13, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110713070747/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/campbells-stunning-resignation-leaves-fate-of-party-hst-up-in-the-air/article1784300/ live
In the ensuing leadership campaign, Christy Clark, the eventual winner, suggested she would prefer to hold an election earlier than 2013 to secure her own mandate.http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/editorial/story.html?id=1c291572-dc16-4d3a-b09e-697134d78e63 Clark needs time as premier before renewing mandate Vancouver Sun March 1, 2011 May 19, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20151222150017/http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/editorial/story.html?id=1c291572-dc16-4d3a-b09e-697134d78e63 December 22, 2015 She was believed to be preparing her party for an election as early as autumn 2011.http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=150461ab-5663-47c3-9d42-9a95388608a5 Clark may be too election ready May 16, 2011 December 21, 2015 Vancouver Sun https://web.archive.org/web/20151222150008/http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=150461ab-5663-47c3-9d42-9a95388608a5 December 22, 2015 However, due to the unfavourable result from the HST referendum, she decided to rule out an early election.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/christy-clark-rules-out-fall-b-c-election-1.1053412 Christy Clark rules out fall B.C. election August 31, 2011 August 31, 2011 CBC News September 1, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110901060707/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/08/31/bc-christy-clark-rules-out-election.html live
