A sign is shown at the Elections BC office in Victoria, B.C., on Sept. 25. Elections BC is expected to provide a breakdown today of the number of uncounted mail-in and absentee ballots in each of British Columbia's 93 ridings, potentially making clearer the outcome of the weekend's nail-biting vote.

Elections BC says several hundred votes remain uncounted in the tightest undecided races after the province’s nail-biting election last weekend.

The NDP is ahead of the B.C. Conservatives by fewer than 100 votes in the two closest races, so the numbers released by Elections BC give room for the lead to switch, increasing the chance of a Conservative majority.

More coming.
