Elections BC may have to investigate whether Christy Clark spoiled her ballot in advanced voting today.

Clark was surrounded by media when she visited a polling station in Burnaby.

She’s running in Vancouver-Point Grey, but she actually lives in Vancouver-Fairview, so she has to vote for the Liberal candidate there, Margaret MacDiarmid.

When she tried to hand her handwritten written ballot to the polling clerk, she was asked why she'd put her own name on it.

"Well, you know what I need to do is… I need to put, um, I need to put Margaret MacDiarmid on there too."

Clark then added MacDiarmid’s name.

 Election rules clearly state only one name can appear on the ballot.

Camera footage shows Clark submitted the document without crossing her own name out.
