The final results of British Columbia's weekend election won't be known until at least next week.
Elections BC says official recounts are being held in two tight ridings where the difference between the New Democrat and B.C. Conservatives candidates is less than 100 votes.
The NDP candidates hold slim leads in both the Surrey City Centre and Juan de Fuca-Malahat ridings, and the results could determine who forms government.
Elections BC says it will also be counting about 49,000 absentee and mail-in ballots.
The election's initial results have the NDP leading or elected in 46 ridings, with the B.C. Conservatives leading or elected in 45 ridings, with the Green Party electing two members.
A majority in B.C.'s 93-seat legislature is 47 elected members.
