“We are very happy with the overall operation of the 2024 Civic Election,” says Returning Officer, Shellie Bryant. “No significant issues were reported at polling stations, and it was great to see residents engaged and turning out at the polls to elect their local leadership for the next four-year term.

This was reflected in our 35.04 per cent overall voter turnout from a total of 195,178 eligible voters -- an increase over the 27 per cent turnout for the 2020 election. Most importantly, the election results reporting is accurate. The new modernization processes were successful, and they will be further analyzed as the complete election is reviewed.”

Following the close of polls at 8 p.m., the complete unofficial results of the 2024 Saskatoon Civic Election were posted late on the evening of November 13, 2024. Polls were closed and reported publicly in accordance with The Election Bylaw. Bryant says a delay in publicly posting unofficial election results was a result of three factors: 

1. At the close of polls there were still voter lineups at several polling stations. Per legislation, at the official closing time, every voter in line at the voting location is entitled to vote. In providing the opportunity for everyone in line to vote and not wanting to release results while voting was still occurring, results were delayed until voting was fully completed.
    
2. A significant volume of mail-in ballots were received prior to the 8 p.m. deadline. These ballots were required to be processed, verified and then counted. This count was the final polling station reported at the conclusion of the evening.
    
3. While the vote tabulators worked exactly as designed, there was a longer than expected upload time to the reporting portal.

Journalists on site were able to report out earlier on unofficial results due to posting of printed election tabulator results once processed (unofficially) in City Hall Lobby.

 A detailed Returning Officer report will be presented to City Council through the Governance and Priorities Committee following Elections Saskatoon’s full review of the 2024 Civic Election.

Meet Saskatoon’s newly elected local leadership for the next four-year term, 2024-2028:
