Early Voter Turnout Declines in Nova Scotia Ahead of Election

With a week remaining before the election, early voting numbers are significantly lower than in 2021, raising concerns about voter engagement.

As of Monday, only 64,000 early votes have been cast in Nova Scotia, a decrease of 11,367 from the same period in the 2021 election.
Liberal Party Leader Zach Churchill attributes the low turnout to 'election fatigue' and a postal strike affecting voter information delivery.
Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Houston called a snap election for November 26, despite a law setting the next election date for July 2025.
Churchill is focusing on housing issues, proposing a 'rent bank' for renters and changes to fixed-term leases to protect tenants.
NDP Leader Claudia Chender criticizes the current government's housing policies and advocates for increased public housing investment.
