Of the five ridings with the highest percentage voting to extinguish the tax, two were in Surrey. On the other hand, the top five ridings who voted to keep the tax included three from the North Shore.

West Vancouver-Capilano took the top spot for ridings that wanted to keep the HST with 64.52 per cent in favour.
