Voting Hours Extended In NWO

Thunder Bay-Atikokan and Kiiwetinoong will have delayed election results.

Several reports indicate that Elections Ontario is extending voting at 27 locations past 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.

In a statement Thursday, Chief Electoral Officer Greg Essensa said due to a lack of staff in Kiiwetinoong, there is a special directive to allow people to vote even if they are away from their communities.

Counting can’t begin until all polls are closed.
