Candidate for the new York South-Weston Ward 5 council seat, Chiara Padovani has requested an extension of the advanced polling deadline. Advanced polls are set to close at 7:00pm today but Padovani says that residents have had difficulty in reaching the polls (both in the former Ward 12) because of traffic congestion.
*For immediate release*
I’ve requested that the City Clerk’s Office extend Advanced Voting in York South-Weston for an additional two days.
Road closures that took place all day Friday and Saturday created more barriers for #YSW voters to get to the polls. #TOpoli pic.twitter.com/b94W3h9ffR
