On behalf of the Nunatsiavut Elections Officer (NEO), the Nunatsiavut Government wishes to advise that there is another candidate declared to run as Ordinary Member for the Constituency of Hopedale in the Nunatsiavut Assembly.
Terry Vincent field his papers prior to the close nominations at 2 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time on March 26. However, a miscommunication between the returning officer in the community and the NEO resulted in Mr. Vincent not being listed as a candidate for the May 3 general election.
