Iceland Volcano eruption disrupts NZ Provincial election

Marist Provincial Votes counted in New ZealandVotes for the election of the New Zealand Marist Provincial have been disrupted by Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull Volcano eruption and will now be counted in New Zealand.

New Marist legislation requires the votes for electing a provincial be counted in Rome, however with the likely backlog of mail, permission was sought from the Superior General to count the votes in New Zealand.

After consulting his council, the Superior General has granted the request.
