Election results
Please note, that these redistributed results are based on the 2023 riding boundary changes in West Vancouver section of the riding, but the underlying data has limitations. In the riding due to the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia, 23.8% of the ballots were mail-in ballots during the 2020 election. These ballots were never associated with polling stations and areas, making any predictions inaccurate. Final count following a judicial recount, as the difference between first and second place was within 1/500 of the total votes cast. !align="right" colspan=3|Total Valid Votes !align="right"|18,397 !align="right"|100 !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Rejected Ballots !align="right"|130 !align="right"|0.70 !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Turnout !align="right"|18,527 !align="right"|53.07 !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Valid Votes !align="right"|23,454 !align="right"|100 !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Rejected Ballots !align="right"|142 !align="right"|0.61 !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Turnout !align="right"|23,596 !align="right"|61.57 !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Valid Votes !align="right"|21,330 !align="right"|100.00% !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Rejected Ballots !align="right"|92 !align="right"|0.43% !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Turnout !align="right"|21,422 !align="right"|68.19% !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Valid Votes !align="right"|21,562 !align="right"|100.00% !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Total Rejected Ballots !align="right"|102 !align="right"|0.47% !align="right"| !align="right" colspan=3|Turnout !align="right"|21,664 !align="right"|73.03% !align="right"|
