The total in Thursday’s vote was 21,289 or just over six per cent of the 350,799 eligible voters in the province’s 40 electoral districts.

Only one district saw more than 1,000 votes cast – Topsail-Paradise – where 1,150 of 10,375 eligible voters turned out.
Recent surveys by three different pollsters have reflected a high number of undecided voters, and they pointed to a general lack of enthusiasm for any party leader as one consistent factor.
The election is set for next Thursday.
