The number of people casting advance votes ahead of Tuesday's election is on track to break last election's record turn out.

After just two days of advance polls Elections B.C. says 188,754 people have voted.

In the 2009 B.C. election the total number was a record 297,201.

There are still two days of voting numbers left to calculate with polls closing at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Since 1996 the number of people taking advantage of advance voting has tripled.

The riding of North Coast trailed the pack with just 320 people voting in advance on day two.
