We know of the sandwiches being delivered to #9, but what of the others?

 "Candidates are not permitted to be present at any voting location while voting is being conducted — except to vote."

Christy Clark was not permitted to be present at any voting location while voting is being conducted, no exceptions.   If she made the deliveries to the other 16 voting locations in the same fashion, then Elections BC should be revisiting their fact finding decision.  Elections BC wrote the Guidelines for all Candidates to adhere to.

========================================

Riding Map obtained from Elections BC

SNIPPed Bottom, sorrrrry.  Trying to conserve space here.  Access to the full map is in the link along the top.

I took someone's advice and developed a Google Earth map, without circles, of exactly where the Voting Places were on May 11, 2011 for Vancouver - Point Grey provincial Riding.

There were 3 Voting Places in and around Kitsilano Secondary High School

The most Eastern borderline of the Vancouver  Point Grey provincial riding, is Arbutus, but Voting Space #10 is to the East of the border, in other words, its not in the Riding of Vancouver - Point Grey.  See photo below.

Item #6 is centered along 16th Ave with three great huge areas between #6 and #17, #8, and #3.

Seems odd that Elections BC couldn't find some other schools, churches or community areas to have a provincial Voting Place.

16th Avenue is the Southern Boundary, until the Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and then it goes South.

(2) A voting place must be in the electoral district unless the district electoral officer considers that another location will be more convenient for a majority of the voters.

There is a school at the corner of 7th and Arbutus inside the Riding

On the full width Google Earth Maps above:

Advance Voting Place polls pins are Red

1. Bayview Community School, 2251 Collingwood St, Vancouver, B.C.
2. General Gordon Elementary School, 2896  6 Ave W, Vancouver, B.C.

4. Kitsilano Neighbourhood House, 2325  7 Ave W, Vancouver, B.C.
5. Kitsilano Secondary School, 2550  10 Ave W, Vancouver, B.C.
6. Lord Byng Secondary School, 3939  16 Ave W, Vancouver, B.C.
7. Old Barn Community Centre, 6308 Thunderbird Blvd, Vancouver, B.C.
8. Point Grey Community Church, 3512  7 Ave, Vancouver, B.C.
9. Queen Mary Elementary School, 2000 Trimble St, Vancouver, B.C.
10. St. Augustine’s Church, 2028  7 Ave W, Vancouver, B.C.

12. St. Marks Anglican Church, 1805 Larch St, Vancouver, B.C.
13. Steeves Manor, 1985 Wallace St, Vancouver, B.C.
14. Student Union Building, 6138 Student Union Mall, Vancouver, B.C.
15. University Hill Elementary School, 5395 Chancellor Blvd, Vancouver, B.C.??????
16. University Hill Secondary School, 2896 Acadia Rd, Vancouver, B.C.
17. West Point Grey United Church, 4595  8 Ave W, Vancouver, B.C.

The question marks on Item # 15 is there because it looks like there's no building, just wide open forested lands on Chancellor Blvd.   I used both Google Map and Google Earth to find the address, and, if, voters were being led to the Voting Space by their GPS ......... maybe they never got a chance to vote.

=========================================

There's been much talk by Elections BC as to where voters get to cast their ballots.   Its been described as a Room within a Building and that the Area surrounding the Building is not the Same as being too close to the Voting Booth area even though it violates the intent of why 100 metres was the benchmark set way back in the dark ages of when the Elections Act was created.

From the Elections Act's Definitions page which includes this Index if you want to read up on the Act:

Scratch pad on how votes were tallied   128 of 130 and then Whoops!!!!!!!   150 of 167

We know that there were 17 Voting Places during the General Election on Voting Day of May 11, 2011

We also know that there were 3 Voting Places during the Advance Voting.

And then there's the Mail-in Ballots to be counted as well.  Which might include those citizens who are incarcerated.

37 ballot boxes not up front and centre?

But the math does work out below if there were three Voting Stations (3 Ballot Boxes) per Advance Voting Space over Four days = 36.    The last box is waiting for dated votes delivered by Canada Post.

Advance voting statistics
Advance voting for the Vancouver-Point Grey by-election occurs Wednesday, May 4 to Saturday, May 7, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Day	Total Number of Voters Who Voted at Advance Voting Locations
Wednesday, May 4	1,101
Thursday, May 5	634
Friday, May 6	583
Saturday, May 7	1,053

 Which leaves the 130 boxes being evenly spaced out between 17 Voting Places.

Which equals 7.647058823529412
