Nova Scotia making it easier to cast ballots in municipal elections

HALIFAX — Nova Scotia wants to make it easier to vote in municipal and school board elections. People who have recently moved to a community would able to vote if they've lived in Nova Scotia for six months instead of having to live in that community for three months before being eligible under the changes being brought in by the province. Municipal Affairs Minister Zach Churchill says the legislative changes he has introduced would see people added to the voters list up to three days before the first advance poll in October, rather than by the end of August.
