At 8:12 p.m., the cavernous ballroom that is Vision Vancouver’s party HQ is beginning to fill up, even if most are staring at a results screen that shows no results.

Vision has broken with tradition by providing free grub – salt-n-vinegar chips and pretzels. There is a handy cash bar here at the Hotel Vancouver – FYI, prices range from $7.75 to $10 for beer and liquor. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Keen observers will remember this was the same ritzy location Sam Sullivan held his election victory party in 2005. Vision people say it was the largest ballroom they could find.

The NPA are down at the Marriott on Hastings, a slightly smaller ballroom space the party has used for various internal nomination campaigns.

COPE is at their election office at Broadway and Fraser.
