Advanced polls at UNB conflict with exams, low early voter turnout

Posted on 2025-05-02 by Aidan Keenan Posted in News

From April 13 to April 16, 2025, the University of New Brunswick Student Union and the UNB Student Union Building administrators hosted Elections Canada to provide early polls to students on campus. Unlike recent elections, this year’s early voting period fell in the middle of UNB’s exams. UNBSU President Drashtant Varma noted that the voter turnout at the advanced polls was much lower than the previous federal election in 2019 (which occurred in October, outside of the exam period).
