Judicial recount required if the difference between the top two candidates falls within 1/500 of total ballots considered
Although the Elections BC website shows Conservative candidate Kristina Loewen the winner in Kelowna-Centre, there will be a judicial recount of the votes.
Well after the polls had closed on election night Wooldridge trailed Loewen by 147 votes, promoting the latter to claim victory in the riding. In the days following the vote, Elections BC stated there were approximately 49,000 out-of-district ballots to be counted across the province. That figure was later updated to 65,000.
“I need to listen to my advisors around the next steps and of course when the time is right I’ll issue those congratulations when it’s appropriate.” Acknowledging that the Kelowna-Centre race was closer than imagined or desired, she believes it made clear that voting matters.
