No campaign website was found. The address the BC NDP uses for candidate pages, erinosborne.bcndp.ca, answered HTTP 302 and sent every request back to itself on 2026-10-03, and the Internet Archive's availability service lists no archived copy of it. The BC NDP's candidate list, read from the data its team page loads by script, held 59 profiles and none for Langley-Abbotsford. The Langley-Abbotsford BC NDP constituency page (langleyabbotsford.bcndp.ca) names no candidate, and none of the 12 releases on the party's releases page names her. Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky returned only a site header for the handles checked, so no social media account was read and nothing from them is used. The web search tool had reached its usage limit, so the name search ran through the search pages of the Langley Advance Times and the Abbotsford News, which returned no article that names Erin Osborne, and through general search pages that returned unrelated results. The news sites' results name Josie Osborne, the BC NDP MLA for Mid Island-Pacific Rim. No page read ties her to Erin Osborne, so voche.me treats them as two people. A personal website at erinosborne.me was also found; no page read ties it to this candidacy, and nothing from it is used. Her biography, work history, past public roles, statements, endorsements, all-candidates meetings and campaign finances were not found on this date. No published photo tied to this candidacy was found, so the page has no portrait. The questionnaire has not been sent. Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list stamped October 3, 2026 at 1:00:06 pm PT, the 2024 statement of votes, Elections BC's key dates page, the project's saved copy of the legislature's member data, the BC NDP candidate list and its page for Langley-Abbotsford, the BC NDP platform page and releases page, and the Langley Advance Times and Abbotsford News search pages for her name. No campaign website, party candidate page, social media account or news report about her candidacy was found. The address the BC NDP uses for candidate pages, erinosborne.bcndp.ca, sends every request back to itself and shows no page. Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky returned only a site header, and nothing from them is used. The web search tool had reached its limit, so the name search used the news sites' own search pages and the BC NDP's data. An empty section records the research that was not possible on this date.
