The British Columbia Libertarian Party is a libertarian party in British Columbia, Canada, that nominated its first candidates in the 1986 provincial election. There has never been a Libertarian elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and they have been termed a fringe party.[3] In the 2020 British Columbia general election the party fielded 25 candidates and received 8,360 votes, or 0.4% of the popular vote. Keith Macintyre received 2.6% of votes in Penticton. In 2024, the party fielded only four candidates.[4]
The response to the COVID-19 crisis saw the BC Libertarian party as the only provincial party that opposed the public health measures.
