In Saskatchewan, during the election period some first nations had the jurisdiction to limit non-essential visits on reserve. They had the option to either have polling locations on reserve or work with Elections Saskatchewan off reserve. Public health itself did not have any travel restrictions during the current elections in October.
In July, we had an outbreak in northwest Saskatchewan and there were some travel restrictions for non-essential travel, but travel was allowed for all residents of the northwest—in indigenous communities and non-indigenous communities—for essential reasons like grocery shopping or medical visits. If elections had been held during such a situation, I would have suggested that travel should be allowed for voting purposes as well.
