Lake Country Council Votes
How each member of District of Lake Country Council voted, taken from the official adopted minutes, with every split vote checked by hand. It starts with the outgoing 2022 to 2026 council from August 2026; the council elected on October 17, 2026 is added from its first meeting. Lake Country publishes no structured per-councillor voting data, so this is the only public record of it. Every vote links to its minutes. Nothing is inferred. Lake Country minutes name the members opposed after each result; members present who are not named voted in favour.

How this works
After each council meeting the City posts adopted minutes on the District of Lake Country's eSCRIBE portal, usually one to two weeks later. We extract every motion, its mover and seconder, the result, and the members the minutes name as opposed, absent, recused or abstaining. Lake Country minutes name the members opposed after each result; members present who are not named voted in favour. A person checks every split vote before it is published and writes the plain-English title and topic tags. Unanimous motions are listed as recorded. A motion the minutes text does not let us read with certainty is withheld until a person has checked it, so a meeting can show fewer motions than its minutes. Found an error? Email [email protected] with the meeting date and item number; corrections ship the same week.
