The British Columbia provincial election in 2005 was held on May 17, 2005. The election was called by the incumbent Liberal Party Premier, Gordon Campbell, who had formed a majority government after the 2001 election. The election saw a relatively high level of voter turnout, with approximately 58% of eligible voters casting a ballot.

The main issues in the 2005 election included healthcare, education, the economy, and the environment. The Liberal Party campaigned on its economic record, emphasizing its efforts to balance the budget, create jobs, and attract investment to the province. The New Democratic Party (NDP) focused on social issues, promising to invest in healthcare, education, and affordable housing. The Green Party campaigned on a platform of environmental protection and sustainability.

In the end, the election resulted in a majority government for the Liberal Party, which won 46 seats in the 79-seat Legislative Assembly. The NDP won 33 seats, while the Green Party did not win any seats. Gordon Campbell remained as Premier of British Columbia, and his government continued to focus on economic growth and job creation.

However, the Liberal government's handling of the province's healthcare system became a major issue in the election, with the NDP accusing the government of underfunding and privatizing the system. The election also saw the emergence of a new political party, the BC Conservatives, who won two seats in the legislature. The Conservatives campaigned on a platform of reducing government spending and cutting taxes.

Overall, the 2005 British Columbia provincial election saw a continuation of the Liberal government's focus on economic growth and job creation, with healthcare and social issues also playing a significant role in the election.
