This month’s scheduled election at Wahpeton Dakota Nation has been postponed two months.
The decision to change the original May 29th date comes after a week-long consultation involving Chief and Council with the community and legal counsel.
In the interest of keeping the membership safe and continuing efforts to combat the spread of the COVID-19 disease, it was decided the best option was to re-schedule the election to July 29.
A Band Council Resolution has been sent to Indigenous Services Canada to confirm the decision.
