Since we have not yet counted the special ballots, here is the comparison to the 2009 preliminary vote so that we can have a more a accurate comparison between the two elections in the interim.
Elect Libs NDP Greens BCCP Others total
2013 724,068 643,434 130,421 77,799 53,882 1,629,544
2009 713,994 646,886 130,233 32,620 25,050 1,548,770
Change +10,074 -3,452 +212 +45,179 +28,832 +80,774
The Liberals increased their vote by just over 10,000 while the NDP lost 3,450.
The Greens are almost the same though they only ran 61 candidates in this election and not 85 as in 2009. This means the average Green vote rose by 40% in each riding
The BC Conservatives increased 45,000 votes but they also ran 56 candidates in 2013 as opposed to 24 in in 2009 which means they achieved almost the same amount per candidate.
The vote for all the others more than doubled.

Update on May 22nd
For the record, here is how the parties did with the 91,759 special ballots cast in 2009:
Liberals NDP Greens BCCP Others
37,667 44,678 4,383 1,831 3,200
41.05% 48.69% 4.78% 2.00% 3.49%
As you can see the NDP did better than their election day results while the Greens did significantly worse. I have no idea if this pattern will repeat itself in 2013.
