Today is municipal election day in St. John’s.
Postal workers went on strike the day after the deadline for getting ballots in the mail, leaving many mail kits stuck in limbo.
Voters can check online to see if their ballot was received. If it is not, they can vote in-person at a number of locations around the city, and mail kits can be dropped off at drop boxes at St. John’s city hall and a number of other locations.
