I saw you bcrdukes.

Should have said hi you jerk.

Texted but I havent gotten a response for months..

STFU TOS'd.

I went with my friend while she voted in Surrey and we waited for an hour... From where I went to vote in Surrey by my house they are saying its one of the highest turnouts that they have seen in years so far

Lot of reports of 30-60 min waits in Vancouver as well but I think its a combination of a good voter turn out and people simply going to the more known voting stations. There were over 100 stations and citizens could go to any of their choosing. I highly doubt the wait times were this high even at half of them. Went earlier today and walked right in.

from what I herd there were 73 last time and 53 this time in Surrey.

It is actually going to be four years for the next mayor. I am surprised by the lack of coverage this got in the news...


Did Vision Vancouver?s Raymond Louie start wheels on 4-year civic election cycle? | CityHallWatch: Tools to engage in Vancouver city decisions

first results in

Gregor Robertson Leading 2195 0% Kirk Lapointe 1958 0% Meena Wong 535 0% Bob Kasting 39 0% Tim Ly 27 0% Mike Hansen 22 0% Meynard Aubichon 16 0% Colin

This time in Van there are 117 give or take a few I can't remember. Besides adding a significant number of voting stations the biggest change is you can vote at any station you choose vs before you had a designated station to go to. This alone will have increased voter turnout as I've heard so many people in the past missed their opportunity to vote because they couldn't get back to their neighbourhood in time the day of.

I know the numbers aren't in but it appears that the turnout was very good this time around which is awesome. Civic elections you could argue affect you the most. For those who are still confused between what the Federal Government does vs Provincial Government vs Municipal, here's a short video to explain what the City actually does. You would be surprised how many people have no clue. I work for the City and we still often get calls regarding Passports, Drivers License, Health Care etc

I went in the late afternoon, and was in and out of my voting station in no time. There were other voters there as well, but there was no line up at all. The longest part was actually me filling out the ballot form.

Honestly, as far as vote counting is concerned, the Vancouver municipal election (with its Scantron type voting) has to be the easiest among the 3 different levels of government.

Vancouver advanced voter turnout itself was 98% better than the last election, so that's pretty big.

Moonbeam ahead by over 9000

Moonbeam has it.... I'm so happy I don't live DT

Damn... I was expecting a Bike Boy victory, but I didn't think he would be kicking Paper Boy's butt like this...

I'm disappointed that Bike Boy will win.

:woot2:

Goes to show you can't just run on hopes and dreams without a solid plan of action.

Agreed! Paperboy had a lousy campaign.

Gregor Robertson wins in Vancouver:toot:

revscene wins again

Oh great, Mayor Moonbeam wins again.
Does this mean more bike lanes and condos in Vancouver to gentrify the city?

I bet Bike boy is gonna celebrate by drinking his kale and fruit juice smoothie while riding his bicycle. :heckno:

Moonbean's plan haven't really plan out either. End homeless by 2015. In his dreams!
