No campaign website, social media account tied to this candidacy, interview or public statement from this candidate was found on 2026-10-03, so her background, her positions on every scored issue and her reasons for running are unknown. The addresses miriamrycroft.ca and miriamrycroft.com did not answer, and miriamrycroft.bcndp.ca, the pattern the party uses for candidate pages, kept redirecting after 5 steps and showed no page. The BC NDP's online candidate list held 59 names on 2026-10-03 and none was for Kelowna-Mission. The Canadian Elections Tracker's description of her as a longtime NDP staffer has no source behind it, so voche.me does not state it as fact. Searches for the name return a LinkedIn profile of a Miriam Rycroft who is a member's assistant at the House of Commons, and a public Alberta salary list that names a Miriam Rycroft as Director, Tour and Scheduling in the Executive Council. LinkedIn answered voche.me with an error page (HTTP 999) and no page ties either person to this candidate, so nothing from them is used. A person should check whether either is the same person before it is added. No portrait was found that the candidate or the party published. 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.
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list and key dates page, the 2024 statement of votes, the BC NDP candidate list, Kelowna-Mission page and platform page, the BC Ballot page for her, the Canadian Elections Tracker's BC page and its post of October 2, 2026, and a public Alberta salary list that holds an employee of the same name. Web searches covered the name alone and with Kelowna-Mission, Kelowna, NDP and British Columbia.
