WCDSB election
A mistake that left two Catholic board trustee candidates off the ballot means only the votes for the affected school board will be discarded and voters are welcome to resubmit their vote when the election resumes in November.
To date, approximately 1,700 ballots have been cast using the City of Cambridge’s ballot for WCDSB.
Cambridge voters that support the school board are advised that votes cast for all races, except the Catholic board are valid and will be counted towards the results of the election on Oct. 24.
