Richmond-Queensborough is a provincial riding located in the Metro Vancouver, Richmond & Delta region. This riding is currently represented by NDP MLA Aman Singh who first took office in 2020. Singh collected 9,406 votes, winning 47.65 per cent of the vote in the 2020 B.C. provincial election.
The riding lost Bridgeport to Richmond North Centre, before that riding was renamed to Richmond-Bridgeport. This relatively young riding has swung between the Liberals and NDP in the previous two elections. Incumbent Singh won by just 8.6 per cent in 2020 while Liberal Jas Johal won by 0.6 per cent in 2017.
For many voters, their riding may have changed in this upcoming provincial election.
Following the 2020 provincial election, the Electoral Boundaries Commission was required to complete a redistribution of seats.
After the final report was released, an act was passed in 2023 to increase seats in the B.C. legislature from 87 to 93. This includes four new ridings in the Lower Mainland, one on Vancouver Island, and one in the Interior.
In addition, 72 ridings had their boundaries adjusted. Forty-one ridings had their names changed.
Voters will decide who will represent Richmond-Queensborough during the upcoming B.C. provincial election on Oct. 19, 2024.
