"We'll be counting the advanced poll ballots and the election day ballots along with the personal care facility ballots that have been collected as well. That's the first preliminary," Michael Boda, Saskatchewan's Chief Electoral Officer, said. "The second preliminary actually begins the second day after the election,.
