Many voters in Ontario will continue to cast ballots today after technical difficulties forced at least a dozen municipalities to extend voting in local elections.
Dominion Voting Systems, a company that provides tabulation systems in Canada and the U.S., said in a statement that 51 municipalities were impacted by a glitch that stalled online voting for at least 90 minutes.
While many impacted communities kept polls open for one or two extra hours, several opted to declare emergencies under the Municipal Elections Act and extend voting for a full day.
Some of those municipalities include Pembroke, Waterloo, Prince Edward County, Greater Sudbury, and several communities in the Muskoka region.
The rest of Ontario's 417 municipal races went off without technical trouble, but there was no lack of drama.
While John Tory easily cruised to re-election in Toronto's mayoral race, a closer contest in Brampton, Ont., saw former Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown defeat incumbent Linda Jeffrey.
