I've heard back from the City of Vancouver.
They confirmed that they have approximately 265 staff "currently in the field" working the byelection.
That's a 79% dropoff from the 2017 byelection.
Odd they didn't mention that in their original explanation to media as to why lines were so long.

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today.
It's not just a turnout question.
Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT.
From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around.
This was a staff recommendation.

I just finished my training to apply for RPAL (Restricted Firearms License)
What I learnt:
- RCMP officers are mad at gun control laws
- Women need options for self defense (if not just general safety)
-I'm way too efficient at weapons handling (100% on all tests)
