No personal campaign site or social media account was found for this candidate, and the party gives each candidate only a short paragraph. The business the party page refers to is not named, so it could not be checked in any public registry, and no organization was named for the health care volunteering. The name is spelled differently across sources: the ballot list uses Mohadeseh Gharib P. Arasi, Wikipedia uses Mohadeseh G.P. Arasi and the party page uses Mohadeseh GP Arasi. VoteMate's list of Bright Future Vancouver council candidates shows both a Mohadeseh Gharib P Arasi and a Mohadeseh Gharib Pour, and it could not be established whether those two entries refer to one person or two. For that reason a candidate pledge signed under the second spelling on the Women Transforming Cities Our City Hall Pledge page is not recorded here. No interview, article, or forum appearance naming this candidate was found. The City of Vancouver site refuses automated requests, so the official candidate record could not be opened.
