voche.me found no campaign website, social media account, news report, interview or public statement tied to this candidacy on 2026-10-01, so the candidate's background, positions on every scored issue and reasons for running are unknown. The BC NDP's online candidate list held 52 names on 2026-10-01 and did not include Abbotsford West. The Abbotsford West BC NDP page and the party releases page do not name a candidate. The address julescote.bcndp.ca, the pattern the party uses for its candidates' pages, sends the reader back to the same address in a loop and shows no page. A person named Jules Côté ran for the federal NDP in Mission-Matsqui-Abbotsford in the April 2025 federal election, and the BC Ballot site lists that run under this candidate's name. voche.me found no page from the candidate, the BC NDP or a news outlet that ties the 2025 federal candidate to this provincial candidacy, so nothing from the federal campaign is used. A person who confirms with the campaign that it is the same person can add that history. No portrait was found that the candidate or the party published for this candidacy. All-candidates meetings in the district, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. Nominations close October 3, 2026, so other candidates may still be added. The questionnaire has not been sent.

No campaign website, social media account, news report or statement tied to this candidacy was found. The party platform entries below are the BC NDP's own text, and none of it names Côté. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date.
