The two candidates fighting for the federal headquarters of Terra Nova-The Peninsulas will have to wait at least two more days after the closure of public buildings in Marystown on Wednesday.
The city of Marystown turned off its water supply at a scheduled closure as part of the construction process of a new chlorination plant. As a result, all public buildings in the city were forced to close.
According to the elections, Canada spokesman Matthew Mckenna, stopped the voting vote on Wednesday. Judge Garrett Handrigan, supervising the process, now expects to end on Friday, said McKenna.
It was expected that the count of deciding a winner between liberal candidate Anthony Germain and conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe would not take more than three days, but extended until his ninth day on Wednesday. Germain defeated Rowe in the initial count for only 12 votes, automatically activating a count.
This process implies the count of more than 41,000 votes at 279 polls. A designated counting equipment can only count in a safe location.
Once the decision of Justice Handrigan has been made, Canada’s elections will declare a winner.
