On Thursday October 11, 2018 North District Regional GIS, Williams Lake RCMP, responded to a report of a possible violation of the Local Government Act regarding the upcoming civic elections.
Elections Officials were made aware of a candidate campaigning at one of the
Special Voting Opportunities(SVO) locations in Williams Lake and believed this may be a violation as candidates were not to be in attendance or campaigning at polling stations on voting days. The location in this instance was a senior care facility in the city.
Police spoke to the residents of this location and after a comprehensive review of the current legislation governing Municipal Elections on B.C. and information obtained from the residents, it was determined that no violation had occurred as any campaign activities conducted had concluded prior to the opening of the SVO and voting proceedings had not yet commenced.
