Postponed municipal election resumes in Saskatoon

Saskatoon’s postponed municipal election resumes Friday.

Election day was scheduled for Nov. 9, but voting was suspended at 6:30 p.m. after a snowstorm on the weekend made many roads in the city impassable.

The Saskatchewan government issued a ministerial order allowing municipalities to postpone elections due to the weather.

Condensed polls will open at seven locations starting at 9 a.m. Friday: Cosmo Civic Centre, Lawson Civic Centre, Lakewood Civic Centre, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Prairieland Park, Shaw Centre, and city hall (committee room E).
