SURREY, B.C. — Mayor Doug McCallum's political party says he's not conceding the election in Surrey, B.C.
The Safe Surrey Coalition says in a statement that with less than a 1,000-vote difference from his challenger, Brenda Locke, McCallum won't accept defeat"at this point in time."
The statement says the party's legal advisers are reviewing the Local Elections Act, which outlines laws around requesting a judicial recount. Unofficial results from the City of Surrey show Locke clinched the victory with 973 votes more than McCallum. According to the act, an application for a judicial recount can be made on the basis that votes were not correctly accepted or rejected, that a ballot account did not accurately record the number of votes for a candidate or that they weren't calculated correctly in the official election results.
The application must set out the facts, backed up by sworn written statements to be used as evidence, on which the claim is based.
