Just to emphasize how early we still are and how small Saskatchewan is, there are less than 900,000 eligible voters in the province! 82,000 votes counted so far.

Check out the results chart. We are only just approaching 10% of eligible voters so far. Turn out last election was just over 50%.
Leading
SKP: 31 (62.6%)

@chris @neutron_chick and Chris, having been in campaigns (too many), Elections BC claiming absentee were done on E-day doesn't make any sense - yet it was reported multi-times in media - those out of riding ballots (like remote workers), need to be physically sent to the voter's home riding for verification by that particular election officer, they are always the last to be counted - 'tabulated' yes, like how many absentee were cast - counted, absolutely not

@MatWright @neutron_chick i think there was some confusion in the media because of the ability for people (like me) to vote out-of-riding and have the vote counted immediately on election night because of the electronic ballot counters and ability to print out riding-appropriate ballots anywhere the "tech" was available.

Big UPDATE! Over 20,000 votes just came in.
And it just got MUCH closer!

@chris @neutron_chick ah, yes - but absentee aren't still officially verified until the actual Election officer verifies - I think that's the kicker - so Chris you voted at VIU(?), but outside your riding - they get tabulated, but not included until that actual ballot reaches your riding

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

This is getting closer! And the NDP is already going to be celebrating with a big gain in seats. If they get 16 more than last election they could take power. They are at 14!

@chris @lowies

Big jump!

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@MatWright @neutron_chick that is not what I was told. I am told, and I believe I read, that at full tech stations the ballots of out of riding were counted on election night. They are not absentee ballots.

@LALegault @chris

So Moe has a majority??? Is that what your screen shot says? I'm on the cbc Saskatchewan votes site - boy is that behind!

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

It's changing quite a bit now... but for now, still a majority for SKParty.

@chris @LALegault

Ew. Dislike. You would think they'd be tired of Moe by now. I know I am! And I'm two provinces over

@lowies @chris

This is not expected to be called for a fee hours, 19 ridings are within 100 votes

@LALegault @lowies @chris One seat has the incumbent SKParty leading by a single vote. It's going to be a while yet.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

They were just talking on CBC about how the SKParty House Leader resisted requests by Elections SK to have electronic tabulators like BC. Instead, we wait for 2 more seats more than 2 hours after polls closed.

BUT WE HAVE AN UPDATE! Look at the popular vote narrowing as the NDP creep up in seats

Seats Leading (Popular Vote)
SKP: 33 (57.6%)
NDP: 26 (34.2%)
Seats Outstanding: 2
Needed for Majority: 31

If we expect to get the same turnout at 52.8% as last election, then we are about halfway through the votes at 25%.

Two and a half hours since the polls closed!

@chris

What’s the deal with the percentages?

26 seats is 42.6% of 61

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

@RuthODay that's the overall popular vote.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Pretty sure we just had our first drunken interview on CBC but I'll refrain to say what party headquarters it was from lol!!

UPDATE All seats are Reporting! The Sask Party has a lead in 34 ridings, which would be enough for a majority but no call yet as there are MANY very close ridings.

They are now talking about Mail ballots which aren't counted until Thursday!
