Elections BC suspends probe into Conservative complaint [Video]

Elections BC says it has suspended its review of a complaint from a Conservative candidate over potential violations in the October election as the B.C. Supreme Court considers a similar claim.

Honveer Singh Randhawa and the BC Conservative Party said it had evidence of 45 suspicious votes in the Surrey-Guildford riding where the New Democrats won by just 22 votes, giving the party a slim majority government.

Randhawa filed the complaint with Elections BC, then days later he asked the B.C. Supreme Court to declare the election of New Democrat Garry Begg invalid.

Elections BC says in a statement issued Tuesday that the court filing also named chief electoral officer Anton Boegman in the case.
