The NDP says voters in the Kiiwetinoong area of northern Ontario have been diverted from polling stations.
NDP Provincial Director Lucy Watson wrote a letter Thursday to Chief Elector Greg Essen urging him to step up a directive he issued earlier in the week allowing voters in Kiiwetinoong to vote at any polling station due to staffing problems.
“People who have the right to vote go to the polls and get rejected,” Erin Morrison, Ontario’s NDP communications director, told CTV News.
On Monday, Essensa cited an act authorizing the extension of a special voting program to tackle problems, including floods, staff shortages, COVID-19 outbreaks and geographical barriers. “This is a ride that is over 50 percent local. This is the only ride in the whole province, which is over 50 percent of the indigenous population, “said Morrison.
But voters were still turned away on Thursday by opinion pollsters who said they had not heard of the directive, Watson said.
“Please direct your return officer immediately and all alternates in charge of return to read the Directive immediately and allow unhindered access to surveys in accordance with the Directive,” Watson said.

Reporting on the results of 19 rides across the province will be delayed by up to two hours, CTV News has learned. Election rules stipulate that all polls in one ride must have completed voting before any results can be reported. So the results of these rides will be delayed.
The Ontario election said earlier that opening hours had been postponed to several polling stations across the province due to various circumstances, such as power outages and fires.
6 p.m.
The Ontario election says fires, backup channels and power outages have delayed the opening of some polling stations. Voting time is extended at these places.
However, the organization says that “polling stations are open and fully operational and we handle voters without difficulty.”
Most polling stations across the province have to close in three hours.
5:30 p.m.
