Elections BC says the box of votes was not counted, others were not reported

Elections BC says it has discovered that a ballot box containing 861 votes was not counted in the recent provincial election, as well as other errors, including 14 votes that were not reported in a crucial election narrowly won by the NDP.

The electoral office says the omission of the ballot box had no impact on the outcome of the Prince George-Mackenzie election, while the unreported votes in Surrey-Guildford were discovered during preparations for a judicial recount during the election, where Garry Begg’s victory by 27 votes was secured. gave the NDP a one-seat majority.

There’s more to come.
