Glenwood resident, Doreen Brown said the voting machine was offline for a short period of time and created a few delays. It is now back online.
“I am super happy that I voted for my next ward councillor and I believe that there will be change. If I don’t vote, my voice won’t be heard. I encourage everyone to go out there and vote for their candidates,” she said.
