READ: Nova Scotia Teachers Union vote for president goes to run-off, incumbant Doucet out
The first round of voting last week did not produce a winner, and incumbent Liette Doucet was dropped from the ballot.
Doucet served as president during a contentious labour dispute with the province last year.
Last February, teachers walked off the job for a day and staged a protest outside the provincial legislature.
The Liberal government eventually passed legislation to end a 16-month contract dispute with teachers and put a stop to a work-to-rule job action.
