The 2024 British Columbia provincial election, already marred by chaos and recounts, is now under renewed scrutiny as it’s been revealed federal elections officials privately circulated a damning internal memo blasting the province’s Chief Electoral Officer—and as Elections BC has formally admitted to voting irregularities in a tightly contested riding.

The seven-page commentary, obtained by Access to Information and first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, was shared within the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections. It labelled the 2024 B.C. vote a “comedy of errors” and accused Chief Electoral Officer Anton Boegman of evading responsibility for a bungled process that saw critical mismanagement across the province.
