CORNWALL – Official results from Elections Ontario show MPP-elect and PC Party of Ontario candidate Nolan Quinn won all but two of the 78 polls from the February 27 provincial election.
Numbers released March 4 by the office which manages provincial election results set Quinn’s official vote count at 23,221 votes.

A declined ballot is a process where a voter returns a ballot to the poll clerk, choosing not to select a candidate. This year in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, there were 110 declined ballots, up from 23 in 2022.
