A majority of people, who have property on Salt Spring Island, voted against incorporation.
Of more than 10,000 voters, close to 4,000 voted against the plan to incorporate the Island while just over 2,400 supported the change.
The results, which mean the Island will remain under the control of the Gulf Islands Trust and the Capital Regional District, are preliminary.
