Milton-Est-Halton Hills-South is a new federal district created as part of the electoral redistribution.
-It includes parts of the former Milton districts, owned by the Liberals before the elections, and Wellington – Hallon Hills, owned by the Conservatives.
The preliminary results have shown that Mr. Gill had won the constituency with 32,186 votes, followed by Tessing Derksen with 31,888 votes, a difference in 298 votes.
The validated results indicate that 412 ballots were rejected in the constituency.
Election spokesperson Canada, Matthew McKenna, explains that the validation process implies that a ballot director examines the votes register counted in the ballot offices in order to detect and correct any error in input or calculation in a constituency.
Mr. McKenna specifies that a recount is automatic if the difference between the votes of candidates who arrived in first and second position is less than or equal to one thousandth of the total number of votes received.
