Special Ballots
Remember: Once you apply to vote by special ballot, you can’t change your mind and vote at advance polls or on election day.

Looks like everything is in and it ended up with Liberals 169 seats, three short of a majority.
Although jeez, I can’t imagine there isn’t a recount in the riding where the difference was literally 12 votes out of 21,000. Crazy close.
Either way, I’m guessing the 7 NDP and 1 Green basically become de facto Liberals to create a pseudo majority since at least that way they’ll have some influence and it wouldn’t be in their best interest to topple the government and go through all this again.
Liberals will have massive leverage over the NDP and the Greens. Neither of them want an election immediately. The NDP need to get their house in order and the Greens have to figure out going forward.
