Langley student elections show different results than official votes

Simulated elections conducted by the non-partisan charity CIVIX revealed different outcomes in Langley compared to actual municipal and provincial election results. In the provincial student vote, Green Party candidate Sam Meyer would have won in Langley-Walnut Grove, unseating Misty van Popta. While incumbent Conservative MLAs Harman Bhangu and Jody Toor were re-elected by students, they did so with narrower margins than in the official results.

In the municipal simulation, Mayor Eric Woodward was re-elected, but his Progress for Langley slate would have lost control of the council, winning only three seats. Across British Columbia, the student vote simulated a Conservative minority government with the NDP as the official opposition.
