The Saskatchewan government said municipalities and school divisions can postpone their elections, which were scheduled to take place Monday, due to a record-setting snowfall and hazardous conditions on the roads.

Government Relations Minister Lori Carr said in a news release that she signed a ministerial order allowing each municipality’s returning officer to postpone its local election.
