City of Vancouver
Information Bulletin
November 15a 2014
Voting hours extended at 4 out of 117 voting locations
The 2014 Municipal Election in the City of Vancouver has had a very significant turnout in voters. We have
received a number of questions in regard to the closing of polls. The Vancouver Charter and the City Election
By-law governs these procedures.
The Vancouver Charter provides that at the close of polls a8pm) everyone that is in line either inside or
outside the voting station will be permitted to vote. The poll will close when the last person has voted, no
matter how long that takes.
The Chief Election Officer reviews all polls to assess whether there has been any adjournment ainterruption)
of voting. In four voting stations today where there was a very heavy turnout, there was a short period of
time during which voters had to wait for ballots to be restocked. The Chief Election Officer has authority to
extend the voting period if there has been an adjournment of proceedings at any voting place.
In this situation, the short adjournment will be associated with a delayed closure of 4 out of 117 polls to
compensate for the adjournment.
As a result the Chief Election Officer has directed that Killarney Community Centre will remain open a
further 15 minutes to 8:15 pm, Britannia Community Centre and Oakridge Centre voting stations will remain
open a further 30 minutes to 8:30pm, and Hastings Elementary Community School will remain open a further
45 minutes to 8:45 pm.
This will delay the communication of early unofficial results as counting of ballots cannot occur until all the
polls close.

Dear Ms. MacKenzie:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding the omission of three voting areas in the Vancouver
Quilchena electoral district (commonly referred to as the Musqueam Lands) from the Voters List
provided by Elections BC to the City of Vancouver.

I appreciate being kept informed of the City of Vancouvers actions to ensure the integrity of the
election process. As you are aware, local governments are responsible for administering local
government elections, this includes deciding by bylaw whether or not to use and adapt the
provincial list of voters as the basis for the local governments register of resident electors. Further,
as Chief Election Officer you have the discretion do all other things necessary to ensure that the
election is conducted in accordance with the legislation.

According to your correspondence, once you became aware of the omissions from the list of
registered electors, you took immediate and necessary steps to ensure that all affected electors
were added to the supplemental electors list and to ensure the individual unable to vote due to
the omission would be able to vote on Saturday, November 15, 2014.

I appreciate your quick response to rectify the situation. As a result of your actions, the election
should proceed with the inclusion of these electors without impacting the integrity or validity of the
election. As the election is proceeding appropriately, I have no further direction to provide at this
time.

Sincerely,

Coralee Oakes
Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development

Subjecta Vancouver election
I am concerned about the information provided to voters in today's election. Unfortunately it seems that political parties
have taken over the election process and it has become difficult to learn the merits of individual candidates.
When I voted at the Aquatic Centre today, I enquired about who to speak to about a civic mail out that was received
yesterday that indicated three voting locations at considerable distance from the one noted on the voting registration. It
did not indicate that these were the only sites where we were to vote but, read quickly, could be confusing and possible
discourage an older or handicapped person from voting. My enquiry was brushed off with "I didn't get one of those. You
should consider yourself lucky!" The same with the " I Voted stickers" so people" wouldn't vote more than once".
This has been a contentious election. It is important that people have faith in the system. We have already reported a
extra person who was registered at our address. Official information should be clear, concise and impossible to
misinterpret. Let the participants provide the helpful hints and cute stickers...This is what our system of government is
based on and shouldn't be muddled with cute stuff!

I am concerned that voters will be discouraged to vote if arrangements are not made to reassign staff and
reduce wait times.

Thin wall between databases of incumbent party and City Hall: In more than one case, we
know that the incumbent party has aharvesteda data from petitions to contact citizens. The
public has no assurance that personal data did not end up into the database of the
incumbent party. Likewise, the public has no way of knowing about about the separation of
data between some contractors, such as the firm Vision Critical (which provides aTalk
Vancouvera public survey/consultation services online under contract with the City of
Vancouver), and the incumbent party.
Voting without being required to show identification - In some instances, people have been
permitted to vote without showing identification.
Candidate videos: Despite original plans to host candidate videos, the City abruptly cancelled
the plans. If you analyze the situation, it is another of many examples that produce a bias in
the election, favouring incumbents and the larger parties with the biggest budgets.
Candidate promotion/advertising on election day: We have heard reports that suggest
banned activities have been occurring today.
These are just some of the concerns that have come to our attention. We would like to correspond
with you after the election to address these in further detail.
Sincerely,
Randy Helten

Subject:

From:

City of Vancouver
Information Bulletin
November 15a 2014
Voting hours extended at 4 out of 117 voting locations
The 2014 Municipal Election in the City of Vancouver has had a very significant turnout in voters. We have
received a number of questions in regard to the closing of polls. The Vancouver Charter and the City Election
By-law governs these procedures.
The Vancouver Charter provides that at the close of polls a8pm) everyone that is in line either inside or
outside the voting station will be permitted to vote. The poll will close when the last person has voted, no
matter how long that takes.
The Chief Election Officer reviews all polls to assess whether there has been any adjournment ainterruption)
of voting. In four voting stations today where there was a very heavy turnout, there was a short period of
time during which voters had to wait for ballots to be restocked. The Chief Election Officer has authority to
extend the voting period if there has been an adjournment of proceedings at any voting place.
In this situation, the short adjournment will be associated with a delayed closure of 4 out of 117 polls to
compensate for the adjournment.
As a result the Chief Election Officer has directed that Killarney Community Centre will remain open a
further 15 minutes to 8:15 pm, Britannia Community Centre and Oakridge Centre voting stations will remain
open a further 30 minutes to 8:30pm, and Hastings Elementary Community School will remain open a further
45 minutes to 8:45 pm.
This will delay the communication of early unofficial results as counting of ballots cannot occur until all the
polls close.

Subjecta media request

Good morning,
I have been contacted by voters who have concerns about the addresses of the three-closest recommended voting stations listed on their voter information cards.
The voters live in apartments and they say the proximities are calculated by the city using their unit number, not the street address of the building they call home. If the street
address of the building was properly used, the voting cards would show voting stations that are closer than the ones that appear. There is an apparent incorrect use of the
unit number to calculate proximity.
Was this a mistake or intentional? Is this connected to the contractor aprinter or database) or Canada Post?
Can you please comment on this as soon as possible?
Sincerely,
Bob Mackin

Can you comment on the ballot scarcity at Oakridge, Britannia and other voting stations? How many ballots were printed? What was done
to remedy the situation? Are there any extensions beyond the 8 pm deadline being pondered?
What is the status of voting machines? Have there been any problems? I know that there were some failures and malfunctions in 2011.

Response from Janice MacKenzie, City of Vancouver Chief Election Officer:
a concern about the City of Vancouver Voter Location Card addresses was brought to the my attention yesterday. To date we have only had
two enquiries about this.
The Voting Location Cards were prepared with a supplier that provides Voter Information cards for municipalities across the country, including
Vancouver. These cards were prepared using City voting locations, residential building addresses and Canada Post postal codes to determine
voting locations near the residential address on the card - the word near was used on purpose recognizing that in some instances, there may
be some locations closer to the address.
The City has provided voters with multiple opportunities to find the most convenient voting location for them on Saturday November 15 - the
website, the Voter Guide, the Voter Information card and by calling
3-1-1.
On Election Day today, November 15, 2014, there is extensive geographic coverage of the entire city with nearly 120 voting places, including at
community and cultural centres, churches, the Vancouver art Gallery, Oakridge and International Village Malls. We have seen tremendous
pick-up with people taking advantage of the additional advance voting opportunities, as well as use of the election planner tool on the Citys
website.

Subject: RE: Problem at polling station
It was a simple matter of a ballot being jammed. When that happens the election official pulls the
tabulator slightly forward to enable the ballot to drop in the ballot box and then puts the tabulator
back in place. The ballot can become jammed because of the way the ballot was inserted into the
tabulator (e.g. pushed in fast or entered on an angle, etc).

id is not required for those on the voters list. Howevera before receiving the ballota the elector

Janice and Rosemary:
Our understanding is that numerous polling places have been intermittently running out of ballots and,
as a result, voting has been delayed. We understand that in some instances there have been periods
of up to an hour with no ballots on hand at voting locations.
In light of the delay for voting, could you please confirm that voting will be open at affected locations past 8:00pm, provided that people are in line?

Please confirm ASAP, as my legal team is standing by to initiate more formal correspondence.
