In the 2014 Vancouver election, the highest number of votes were cast at the Kitsilano Community Centre.

Nearly 2,500 people exercised their franchise there. Ranking second was the Kerrisdale Community Centre followed by the Roundhouse Community Centre.

The polling stations with the fewest number of voters were the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue and the Redeemer Lutheran Church, which each attracted fewer than 400 people.

This data is included in a report going on Tuesday (July 21) to Vancouver council on the last election.

It also indicates that 82 percent of voters travelled less than a kilometre to vote last November. Another nine percent travelled one to 1.99 kilometres.

Peak voting time was between 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the highest number casting ballots between 2 to 2:59 p.m.

Ballot shortage explained

"On Election Day, beginning around mid-afternoon staff became aware that some locations were running short of ballots," the report states. "Five voting places temporarily ran out of ballots: Killarney Community Centre, Britannia Community Centre, Oakridge Centre, Hastings Elementary, and Renfrew Community Centre."

It states that the presiding election officers had protocols in place to prevent this: they were supposed to notify the election office if there were fewer than 300 ballots at any polling station.

"However, likely due to the large numbers of voters, in this small number of polls (4% of total polls) this did not happen and there was a temporary pause in voting due to an absence of ballots," the report notes.
