While Elections BC okayed recounts in the ridings of Courtenay-Comox and Vancouver-False Creek, there are 3 other ridings that didn't meet the criteria for an Elections BC recount.
But officials from Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Maple Ridge-Mission, and Richmond-Queensborough could still ask the Supreme Court of BC for a judicial recount.
Elections BC's Andrew Watson says those applications must wait until after the final count:
" Ah, yes. So a judicial recount application would actually happen after the conclusion of final count where the absentee ballots would be counted. So yes, the judicial recount application could still happen."
Elections BC will be conducting recounts for the ridings of Courtenay-Comox and Vancouver-False Creek between May 22nd and 24th.
Applications for judicial recounts must be made within 6 days of release of the final count, expected May 24th. Judicial recounts are conducted by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and may include some or all ballots and certification envelopes for an election.
