Elections BC says the New Democrats and Conservatives have nominated full slates of candidates for the upcoming Oct. 19 provincial election.

The two main parties will field candidates for each of the province's 93 ridings, while the Green Party nominated 69 candidates, Elections BC said in a statement.

All three parties are running candidates in all of 91原创 Island's electoral districts. There are also six Independent or unaffiliated candidates and one candidate for the Communist Party of B.C., for a total of 52 candidates across 15 ridings. 

Nominations closed Saturday afternoon with 323 total candidates, of which 269 represent seven different political parties and 54 who are contesting the election as Independents or unaffiliated candidates.

Elections BC says the official list includes five Freedom Party of B.C. hopefuls, four Libertarians, three representing the Communist Party of B.C. and two candidates from the Christian Heritage Party of B.C.

There are no BC United candidates.

BC United officials said earlier they might run some candidates in the election to preserve the party entity for the future after Leader Kevin Falcon announced the suspension of BC United's election campaign in late August to prevent a centre-right vote split.
