The Métis Nation of Saskatchewan has held their election, and it was an extremely close vote in a local race.

In Eastern Region II, incumbent Brent Digness edged Nancy Duns 96 votes to 94 according to unofficial results.

Deputy Chief Electoral Officer Rhea Moat told northeastNOW a verification of the vote will take place at the Chief Electoral Office on Thursday.

“If this still indicates that a recount is needed, an application is made to the courts,” she explained in an e-mail. “We will need to wait for a response before we will know the date.”

For the other races, the winners were:
