Election-Night Receipts: OneBC Now Has a Real Ballot Benchmark
October 25, 2026 · iVoteOneBC research desk
Election night gave OneBC something more useful than campaign spin: a verified baseline. The early supporter lesson is simple and mature — count the votes honestly, thank the people who carried the banner, and use the results as the benchmark for the next phase.
What is verified
Elections BC’s event-night results table shows 33 OneBC candidate rows, matching the final campaign-week ballot footprint this site was tracking. The party summary on the same page shows 26,991 OneBC votes province-wide, equal to 1.51% of the counted vote at this check, with 0 electoral districts leading.
The top OneBC event-night vote totals in the table are Alexandra Wright in Kelowna–Lake Country–Coldstream with 2,532 votes and 11.36%, Deborah Friesen in Kamloops–North Thompson with 1,670 and 6.28%, Keith Pomeroy in Boundary–Similkameen with 1,495 and 6.83%, Barbara Presch in Salmon Arm–Shuswap with 1,374 and 5.15%, and Warren Hamm in Penticton–Summerland with 1,341 and 5.27%.
Dallas Brodie’s Vancouver–Quilchena result
In Vancouver–Quilchena, Elections BC’s event-night table shows Conservative candidate Carson Binda at 10,956 votes and 54.95%, BC NDP candidate Callista Ryan at 5,269 and 26.43%, BC Green candidate Douglas Courtemanche at 1,844 and 9.25%, CentreBC candidate Petra Kuret at 1,038 and 5.21%, and Dallas Brodie at 805 and 4.04%.
That is not a win, and this site should not pretend otherwise. The positive supporter frame is different: Brodie put a clear OneBC line on the ballot, kept property rights, DRIPA accountability, lower taxes, and public-safety reform in the campaign conversation, and now has a measurable riding baseline for what support looked like in a heavily consolidated race.
Why this still matters
New parties need receipts. Before this campaign, OneBC supporters could point to videos, public meetings, petitions, platform planks, candidate interest, and polling visibility. After election night, they can also point to actual ballot results: where the message travelled, where it broke into mid-single digits, where it reached double digits, and where the party has work to do.
That is the accountable, premier-material lesson: do not inflate the result, do not hide the setback, and do not abandon the issues just because the first broad test was hard. Keep the receipts. Improve the organization. Build from the strongest ridings. Wait for official final results before making any final numerical claims.
