Police are looking into two alleged violations of the Municipal Elections Act during the advance polls for the Ward 3 by-election.
Paul Harpelle of Elections NB tells CHSJ News there were complaints of a campaign sign being too close to a polling station during advance voting day and pieces of photocopied paper being found in King's Square without the name of the printer and publisher on the page. But these complaints won't have any effect on the election itself. Harpelle says so-called sign wars often creep up into these political events, and the election will continue as per norm.
Voters go to the polls on Monday, May 13th to elect a new city councillor to replace Donnie Snook.
