Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we do have a chief municipal elections officer as well as two deputies in the department. Their role is to train returning officers at the local level for the administration of the Local Authorities Elections Act. There are some limited areas within the act where, if necessary, the chief municipal elections officer could cancel an election and reschedule it. An example would be what we saw most recently in Fort McPherson, where there were some issues that arose with the original election call. We had to stop that election process and reschedule. That was done under the authority of the chief municipal elections officer.
