In preparation for the 2017 provincial election, the ''Electoral Boundaries Commission Amendment Act, 2014'' increased the number of electoral districts from 85 to 87 and required that the number of electoral districts in the North, Cariboo-Thompson, and the Columbia-Kootenay regions not be decreased despite their lower populations since the last adjustment of electoral boundaries. The ''Electoral Districts Act'' was updated in November 2015 to establish the new electoral districts, adding one new electoral district in Surrey and one in Richmond. Additionally, the boundaries of 48 existing electoral districts were adjusted.
The ''Election Amendment Act, 2015'' required the chief electoral officer to provide each party with a copy of the voters list, allowed constituency associations to incur election expenses, limited vouching to amend voter information to only family members of the voter, and eliminated the 60-day pre-campaign period, including its expense limits.Bill 20 – Election Amendment Act, 2015 , third reading, May 26, 2015.

, each candidate's campaign may spend a maximum of $77,674 over the 28 day election period and each political party, in addition, may spend $4,882,405. Also, each third party advertiser may spend up to $3,329 in a single electoral district and up to $166,445 overall.
Unlike the Federal government or most provinces, British Columbia has no limits on political donations. Wealthy individuals, corporations, unions and even foreigners are allowed to donate large amounts to political parties there. On January 13, 2017, the New York Times published a story calling British Columbia the "Wild West" of Canadian political cash. According to the New York Times, "critics of remier Clarkand her party, the conservative British Columbia Liberal Party, say the provincial government has been transformed into a lucrative business, dominated by special interests that trade donations for political favors, undermining Canada's reputation for functional, consensus-driven democracy." The article also explored Premier Clark's practice of taking an additional salary from the BC Liberals, beyond her Premier salary, financed by political contributions. The Globe and Mail also followed up with a special investigation of "British Columbia: The 'wild west' of fundraising". The investigation found that lobbyists are giving tens of thousands of dollars in their own name – and some power brokers are breaking one of the few rules the province has in place. With no limits on political donations in B.C., the provincial Liberals raised $12.4 million last year – $4.5-million from individuals and $7.9-million from corporations.
On March 5, 2017, Elections BC announced it was launching a probe into Liberal Party fundraising. The Official Opposition, the NDP, has promised to ban corporate and union donation if elected, as well as limits on individual donations, but continues to accept corporate and union donations at the present time. The Green Party announced in September 2016 that it would no longer accept donations from corporations or unions.
In terms of election spending, British Columbia currently has no spending limits ahead of the election period. During the 2009 election period, there was a spending limit of $4.4 million. Spending limits for the 2017 election period were adjusted for changes to the consumer price index before being confirmed during the second week in April 2017.
