In the Yorkton riding, the final tally was 1,030 votes or 2.8 per cent for Elaine Hughes of the Green Party, 6,504 votes or 17.8 per cent for Brooke Malinoski of the Liberals, 7,396 votes or 20.2 per cent for Doug Ottenbreit of the NDP and 21,630 votes or 59.2 per cent for Cathay Wagantall of the Conservatives.
