Analysis and political significance
The incumbent Liberal Party won the most seats in the province, despite losing the popular vote to both the Conservatives and the New Democrats.
Despite winning the most seats in the province two years earlier, the Conservatives ultimately lost four of their seats in British Columbia to either the Liberals or New Democrats. Similar to the conservative British Columbia Liberal Party's recent losses in the 2020 British Columbia provincial election, the Conservatives lost support from urban and suburban voters in much of Greater Vancouver.{{cite news|url=https://vancouversun.com/news/politics/election-2021/election-2021-results-conservatives-disappointed-by-showing-in-b-c|author=Hoekstra, Gordon|title=Election 2021 results: Conservatives disappointed by showing in B.C.|publisher=Vancouver Sun|date=September 21, 2021|access-date=January 3, 2025}} It is also speculated that an increased vote share for the right-wing People's Party may have contributed to vote-splitting.
The Green Party saw a significant decrease in support in British Columbia, dropping from 12.5% in 2019 to 5.4%, and losing their Nanaimo—Ladysmith riding to the New Democrats. On Vancouver Island where the Greens are typically more competitive, they only managed to receive the most or second-most votes in one of the island's seven ridings.{{cite news|url=https://vancouversun.com/news/politics/election-2021/election-2021-results-disappointment-for-greens-on-vancouver-island|author=Mackie, John|title=Election 2021 results: Disappointment for Greens on Vancouver Island|publisher=Vancouver Sun|date=September 21, 2021|access-date=January 3, 2025}}
