Elections run from 8:30 to 8:30 in the atlantic (newfound land time), 9:30 to 9:30 (eastern time), 7:30 from 7:30 in alberta: elections generally occur at the same time all round. Judicial recount: if you win by two votes there is automatically a recount when there is one-one thousands of the total vote between the first and second place winners.
