A marathon judicial count to determine the MP-Electo for the terranova de Terra Nova-The Peninsulas is expected to end on Friday.
The count began in Marystown on May 12, almost two weeks ago.
Liberal candidate Anthony Germain won the initial count for only 12 votes about conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe.

The count was expected, supervised by the Judge of the Supreme Court, Garrett Handrigan, take between two and three days, but a unprecedented from 1,041 ballots It needed to be reviewed before the count could be completed.
The election was April 28, but there are still no official results to declare liberal candidate Anthony Germain or conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe, the winner of the driving of Terra Nova-The Peninsulas. As Heather Gillis of CBC reports, it is expected to change on Friday.
Some of those ballots in dispute could include those rejected on the night of the elections. In total, 579 were rejected in the initial count. A rejected ballot can be accepted during the counting process if the counting teams, which include representatives for each candidate, unanimously agree that the ballot must be reclassified.
The count was also delayed on Wednesday after public buildings in Marystown were forced to close due to a scheduled water closure in the city. A Canadian election spokesman said Wednesday that the tickets were stored safely during the delay.
Once the decision of Hardigan is made, it will be shared with the elections of Canada, who will make the announcement of a winner. Handrigan will not provide a written or oral decision on the matter.
