It's the last full day of campaigning in British Columbia's election ahead of final voting day Saturday.
Here's a look at some of the latest developments on the campaign trail.
HAND COUNT FOR MOST BALLOTS
Elections BC has confirmed that votes cast on election day will be tallied manually, in a departure from 2024, when electronic tabulators were used to count paper ballots for the first time in a general election.
That was hailed as a success in Elections BC's report on the polls, but the agency says in a statement that it's going back to a manual count due to "short time frames and complex operational logistics of a snap election."
It says paper ballots cast at advance polling stations and at district electoral offices will still be counted with electronic tabulators, and it expects those results to be reported first after ballots close at 8 p.m.
Elections BC also says the election-night count will not include absentee or mail-in ballots, which will be tallied at the final count scheduled for Nov. 6 to Nov. 10.
Elections BC's report on the 2024 election says electronic tabulation allowed the first preliminary results to be reported within five minutes of polls closing, and 59 per cent of preliminary results to reported within half an hour.
It said that in past elections first results typically started to be reported around 45 minutes after polls closed.
DOERKSON RALLIES WITH CLARK AND MCCALLUM
The B.C. Conservatives held a rally in Surrey on Thursday night, with mayor-elect Doug McCallum endorsing Lorne Doerkson as the province's next premier.
Also present at the rally were former B.C. premier Christy Clark, and former Surrey mayors Linda Hepner and Dianne Watts.
McCallum told the rally that he was standing with people who had changed Surrey and it was time to change B.C.
The 82-year-old McCallum is about to embark on his third separate stint as Surrey's mayor, after defeating incumbent Brenda Locke in the Oct. 17 municipal elections.

Alberta's government says it has a suite of legislation coming this fall to protect Albertans, their pocketbooks and their personal information.
Government house leader Joseph Schow says the province will soon table new bills to lower the cost of auto insurance and give Albertans new protections when it comes to their utility bills.
Schow says Premier Danielle Smith's government is also working on new consumer protection rules around ticket resales and used vehicles.
He also says the government will introduce stronger protections around the development of artificial intelligence data centres.
The Opposition NDP says the government is missing a real plan for affordability and health care.
The legislature is set to resume on Tuesday.

Mieux vaut attendre encore un peu avant de sortir la toile. 👀❄️
Avec le froid qui s'installe, l'envie de sortir ton abri « Tempo » du cabanon risque de te gagner ce week-end. Si la plupart des municipalités le permettent déjà depuis quelques semaines, plusieurs villes et arrondissements du Québec exigent encore un peu de patience, sous peine d'une amende salée.

Chaque ville, et même chaque arrondissement à Montréal, fixe sa propre période d'installation. Alors que bien des endroits ont donné le feu vert dès le mois d'octobre, d'autres attendent novembre avant de tolérer les fameuses toiles grises dans les entrées.
Voici les secteurs où il est interdit d'installer ton abri d'auto temporaire avant le 1er novembre, ou même plus tard.
Dans certaines municipalités, inutile d'attendre novembre, puisque les abris temporaires y sont interdits en tout temps. C'est le cas dans l'Ouest-de-l'Île, notamment à Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Baie-D'Urfé et Senneville, ainsi qu'à Mont-Royal.
Les conséquences peuvent coûter cher. En 2024, une résidente de Dollard-des-Ormeaux a été condamnée à payer 27 amendes totalisant 13 050 $ pour avoir installé un abri dans son entrée plusieurs hivers de suite, selon Global News.
Si tu prévois l'installer avant la date autorisée, sache que tu t'exposes à une amende pouvant aller de quelques centaines à plusieurs milliers de dollars. Selon ta municipalité ou ton arrondissement, une première infraction peut te coûter entre 100 $ et 1 000 $, et la facture risque de grimper en cas de récidive.
Pour connaître la date exacte à partir de laquelle tu peux procéder à l'installation, le mieux est de communiquer avec ta municipalité en composant le 3-1-1, lorsque ce service est offert.
