VICTORIA—The result of British Columbia’s election will come down to the wire on Monday when absentee ballots are counted after a tally of mail-in votes failed to resolve a handful of undecided races.

There was no shift in the party standings after Elections BC said count of mail-in and assisted telephone ballots was completed Sunday.
