REGINA - Elections Saskatchewan has finished counting all the returns from the Oct. 28 general election, with the results showing higher voter turnout than last time.

The elections management body says more than 56 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots, which is higher than the 52 per cent who voted in 2020.

Elections Saskatchewan counted the majority of the ballots last week.

On Saturday, as required by legislation 12 days after the last day of voting, the remaining mail-in ballots and those cast at hospitals and remand centres were counted.

All 61 returning offices also verified on Saturday that their results were entered correctly on election night.

The results show the Saskatchewan Party won 34 of the 61 ridings to form a majority government, while the NDP won 27 ridings to form the Official Opposition, and no third parties won a seat.
