Elections Canada says 822 special ballots cast by electors in 74 electoral districts were left with the returning officer in Coquitlam , B.C. The agency says the outcomes in those 74 districts were not affected by the mislaid ballots.

The problem was caused by “human error” and “a failure to comply with the written procedures,” the agency says.
