  • Sources: Electoral History of British Columbia 1871-1986. Prepared by Elections British Columbia and the Legislative Library (ISBN 0-7718-8677-2).
  • Note: For 1986 the number of rejected ballots is actually the number of rejected votes, which due to dual candidate Districts is greater than the number of ballots. As well, the percentage is based on the number of votes, not ballots, cast. Source: Electoral History of British Columbia 1871-1986.
