No Problems With Local Polling Stations

Smooth sailing so far here in Saint John when it comes to the polls...that from Karen Janigan with Elections Canada.

She tells CHSJ News there was only one hiccup in getting the polls going today -- a deputy returning officer in St. Andrews fell ill and the poll was late to open by 30 minutes.

Although there haven't been any confirmed cases here in Saint John or in the Maritimes, Janigan does warn of voters getting calls that their polling station has moved.

She says Elections Canada does not make calls and would instead have somebody at the polling location telling voters that it has moved.
