HALIFAX — A delayed start in voting at one poll outside Halifax means that results of the Nova Scotia provincial election will be published an hour later than planned tonight.
Elections Nova Scotia spokeswoman Naomi Shelton said in an interview that a polling station in the Eastern Shore community of Mushaboom will remain open until 9 p.m. local time to compensate for the late start, and the law requires that no results be released until all polls close.
Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Houston launched the snap election on Oct. 27, ignoring his government’s election law, which for the first time in Nova Scotia set a fixed election date — July 15, 2025. Major election themes included the cost of living, the lack of affordable housing, and the province’s ailing health-care system.
Polls have pointed toward a return to power for the Tories, with the NDP and Liberals in a close struggle for second.
