Election day arrives in Saskatchewan, the third province to head to polls during pandemic
In
what will be the third provincial election held in Canada during the
COVID-19 pandemic — the others were in New Brunswick on Sept. 14 and
British Columbia on Saturday — 61,225 Saskatchewan residents have
received mail ballots.
Ballots sent by mail will only begin to be counted on Wednesday. In
tightly fought ridings, the margins may be too narrow to decide the race
without accounting for the mail ballot results.
For those casting a ballot in-person on Monday, Elections
Saskatchewan is strongly recommending that voters wear a mask at the
polls and stay home if feeling unwell.

2016 — the Saskatchewan Party consolidated its hold on power, increasing
its seat count in both elections.
The Saskatchewan Party held 46 seats when the election was called, with the NDP at 13 and two seats vacant. [Read more]

place. This will be the year that defines Premier Scott Moe. As a big
supporter of oil & gas, and Jason Kenney too, things are apt to get a
little rocky on the environmental front.
