The Conservative Party of British Columbia raised more than $2.7 million in political contributions during the third quarter of 2026, according to newly released Elections BC financial reports.

The party significantly outpaced the BC NDP and BC Greens.

Figures released Tuesday show the Conservatives collected $2,729,916.27 between July 1 and September 30, compared to $986,093.03 for the BC NDP and $345,803.08 for the BC Greens.

The Conservatives' fundraising accelerated in the final days of September, following Kerry-Lynne Findlay's resignation as party leader on September 20 and then-premier David Eby's decision to call a snap provincial election on September 22.

According to Elections BC contribution records, the party raised $2,447,690.93 between September 20 and 30, accounting for nearly 90% of its total third-quarter contributions.

The largest single-day total came on September 30, when the party recorded $817,061.72 in contributions across 272 records.

The figures show the Conservatives raised approximately 2.8 times as much as the BC NDP and nearly eight times as much as the BC Greens over the three-month reporting period.

Elections BC published the third-quarter interim financial reports on November 3, following an October 30 filing deadline.

The reports cover political contributions, transfers of money or other property and services, and prohibited contributions returned to contributors or paid to the Chief Electoral Officer.

All three parties submitted their reports by the deadline.
