Fredericton election winner won't be known until at least Wednesday
CBC
People in the Fredericton riding won't know their next MP until Wednesday — at the earliest.
On Tuesday, the day after Canadians again elected a Liberal minority government, Elections Canada is verifying 2,283 local mail-in ballots in Fredericton.
And they won't be counted until Wednesday.
"It could take up to five days," said Françoise Enguehard, a spokesperson for Elections Canada in the Atlantic region.
Enguehard was speaking about the ridings across Canada where a winner has yet to be determined, and she wouldn't explain why it would take so long to count mail-in ballots in Fredericton.
Jenica Atwin, who held the Fredericton seat in the last Parliament, is ahead of Conservative Andrea Johnson by 501 votes.
As of 2:15 p.m., Atwin had 37 per cent of the vote, with 15,187 votes. That was just one percentage point ahead of Andrea Johnson, who'd nabbed 14,686 votes.
