Election results  
Election workers will begin hand counting ballots for the advance vote, institutional vote and special ballots at 7:30 p.m. at the Central Count Centre on election night. Workers will begin counting election day vote ballots after the voting stations close at 8 p.m. Live, unofficial results will start to be reported online at strathcona.ca/ElectionResults approximately one hour after all voting stations have closed. Voter turnout numbers will be reported on website after they have been received and verified.  
 
Media may also access election results through a JSON file: https://elections.strathcona.ca/data/arearesults.json   
 
The County expects unofficial results will be reported more slowly than previous elections due to the new provincial requirement to hand count ballots. Strathcona County will not be issuing a news release on unofficial results. All results are considered unofficial until 12 noon on Friday, Oct. 24.   
  
Previous election results data, including from 2021, can be found on Strathcona County’s website.   

An official list of candidates for all wards and the mayoral race is available at strathcona.ca/candidates.  

The lists of school trustee candidates are available on the Elk Island Catholic Schools and Elk Island Public Schools websites.
