What happened to the 1876 election?

From the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online: "In his subsequent election campaign for endorsement [Premier] Elliott promised to obtain complete fulfilment of the Carnarvon Terms... Elliott won a victory at the polls on 21 Feb. 1876..."

There was a by-election held for Victoria City on that date. Follow link for Electoral History of British Columbia, 1871-1986 (large PDF file) at [1] --Big_iron (talk) 16:22, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Updated URLs at Elections BC

I noticed that some URLs have changed at http://www.elections.bc.ca. http://www.elections.bc.ca/elections/electoral_history/toc.html has been replaced by http://www.elections.bc.ca/index.php/resource-centre/electoral-history-of-bc. This affects articles about general elections and provincial electoral ridings & possibly others. I have started some work on this. Other URLs from the Elections BC site used as references in articles related to British Columbia may also be broken. --10:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I found an update to Timeline of Canadian elections that corrected the URLs there in October 2008, so it must have changed some time before that date. --Big_iron (talk) 10:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
