The verification process
The 2018 city election had a large number of candidates (158), resulting in a longer than usual ballot which caused paper jams in the vote counting machines at some locations. The election verification process this year included recounting approximately 57,156 ballots from 50 voting places. These voting places were selected based on whether the voting place experienced a delay on voting day, the number of ballots that jammed in the machines, or whether there were discrepancies in the records kept by the Presiding Election Officials.
As a result of this significant review, there are minor vote changes from the preliminary results for many candidates, but the final results do not change the final election standing.
The full vote counts are now available at vancouver.ca/vote. Results by voting place will be available on the website within the next few weeks. A full download of election data will be available later in fall, in the open data section of the City of Vancouver website.
