Three appeals filed into Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation elections
While the votes have been tallied, the election process is still well underway in the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation.
Three appeals have been filed, contesting the results in councillor positions around the Cree Nation. Randy Clarke, the Chief Electoral Officer for the 2018 election, confirmed the appeals have been filed.
“It’s always a process,” Clarke said. “It’ll go into hearing, it’s a process that [the band] uses.”
The electoral officer said Eileen Linklater filed an appeal into the Pelican Narrows councillor election, which saw Myrtle Ballantyne, Justin Halcrow and Weldon McCallum re-elected while Wesley Custer and Elizabeth Michel were elected.
