The BC Conservatives are asking for an RCMP investigation into “voting irregularities” centred around an addictions and recovery facility in the Surrey-Guildford riding during the last provincial election, days after Elections BC said it would conduct a probe into allegations of voting irregularities in the riding.

The BC Conservatives said they had uncovered some “serious inconsistencies about the vote in this riding,” and said the RCMP now needed to investigate what happened at the Argyll Lodge, a licensed substance abuse and recovery facility in Surrey. The party had previously called for an Elections BC investigation into irregularities in the riding of Surrey-Guildford, which it agreed to.
