Counter Petition requirement of 2777 is lower than 2006 census figures suggest.

Population Stats for Vernon 2006 Stats Canada


Calculation for Counter Petition Opportunity: (Voting age and over)

Total 2006 Population 35944
less: 0-4 1680
less: 5-9 1745
less: 10-14 2185
less: 15-19 2345 * 80% = 1876

Total Elgible: 28,458

10% requirement = 2846.

As only 2777 are required in the time period these additional 69 signatures are not legally required.
