Nov 9, 2020 | 5:00 PM

Residents in Prince Albert and area will have a new way to view results and reaction from the municipal election tonight.

In addition to traditional news coverage on the web and Saskatchewan Country CKBI radio, the news team at paNOW will be reporting in real-time though a live blog platform.

“Our readers want results and reaction right now and the municipal election is the perfect opportunity for us to provide that to them,” paNOW news director Glenn Hicks said.

“We’ll have reporters based in our newsroom and with candidates wherever social distancing allows in the community. Not only will you have results, but you’ll also get real time interaction with the news makers throughout the night through the use of video, audio, and pictures,” he said.

The live blog will also include links to comprehensive coverage of the election over the last several weeks.

“We look forward to connecting with remote and virtual audiences through this live content experience,” said Hicks.

The video below shows a preview of what readers can expect. The live coverage will begin at 7:30 p.m. The polls close at 8 p.m.
