Seniors advocate criticizes Nova Scotia's decision to halt mailing voter cards due to postal strike threat

A seniors advocacy group is concerned about Nova Scotia's decision not to mail voter information cards due to a potential postal strike. They argue many seniors rely on mail for voting information. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is set to strike as of November 3, after members voted in favor of action. Critics, including Liberal Party Leader Zach Churchill, say this will complicate voting for seniors and those without internet access. Elections Nova Scotia acknowledges the decision was difficult but emphasizes alternative ways for voters to access information. They plan an awareness campaign to help underserved voters prepare for the election on November 26.
