A by-election planned in Sandy Bay today (Thursday) has been postponed.
The Chief electoral officer for the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation says a road-block prevented him and others from entering the community this morning.
Ted Merasty says the vote will have to be rescheduled.
He promises to notify band-members of when that will be.
The protesters are believed to be seeking a new election altogether.
Some community members in Sandy Bay say the RCMP have been contacted.
