Each vote Dan Ashton tallied in this spring’s provincial election cost his campaign the equivalent of a cheap lunch, according to financial information released by Elections B.C. The non-partisan office of the legislature published electoral financing reports this week for most candidates — and their respective parties — who ran for office in May. Ashton, who won the Penticton riding by a narrow margin under the Liberal banner, also narrowly outspent the B.C. NDP runner-up. The former Penticton mayor reported election expenditures of $85,533.88 that earned 11,551 votes, for a per-vote cost of $7.40. Second-place finisher Dick Cannings spent $84,612 and received 10,154 votes, equal to $8.33 per vote. (more)
