Voters in Nova Scotia are casting their ballots and part taking in election today, a day when they will chose the fate of Atlantic Canada’s first NDP government. The polls will remain open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., while Premier Darrell Dexter claims to believe that large block voters remained mostly undecided until the final days of the 31-day campaign. After casting his vote at his suburban riding in the Halifax area today, Dexter alleged that he is satisfied with the party’s campaign.

On his way to a polling station by the side of his wife, Dexter announced that “I’m feeling great,” while boasting that “we’ve got great campaigns on the ground and everyone today will be busy working hard to get the vote out and that’s what election day is all about. Everything builds to this day.” Dexter agreed that he was feeling nervous, as he claimed that “anybody who isn’t nervous on election day, they’re out of touch with reality,” and added that “everybody’s nervous on election day.”

Towards the end of the campaign, Dexter urged voters to let him continue till the end what he started, while referring to job creation opportunities around the corner from a program to build navy warships in Halifax, a budget that’s balanced for this fiscal year, and fewer emergency room closures in rural parts of the province as evidence of his government’s achievements. Whereas, through its campaign ads, the NDP has always warned that their effective plains will be at risk under a Liberal government.
