elections_results

Votes by candidate for one district or for one party across districts, with the label (preliminary or final) and the time the source was last checked. A district miss returns not_found with up to five suggested districts. Candidates with no listed affiliation have party "No affiliation listed" (filter with that exact value; it is not "Independent"). Live 2026 results exist only after Elections BC publishes them.

Cost: 2 units of your allowance (see Rate limits).
