Mulcair remains in top going into final ballot

After some delays with the third round of voting, Thomas Mulcair has remained at the forefront of the race for the leadership of the NDP.

Mulcair is now at 43.8 per cent of the vote, with Brian Topp and Nathan Cullen following. Cullen has been removed from the ballot for the final round of voting.

Problems with access the voting web page dragged out the third round this afternoon. The definite cause of the problem – whether it was poor planning for the volume of voters or an external perpetrator – has not been confirmed.

The final round of voting is expected to end at 8 p.m.
