The first of two advanced polling days for upcoming municipal elections takes place Saturday, May 5.

The polls will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at various locations set up around the region.

If your name is on the List of Electors you should have received a Voter Information Card in the mail which you can bring with you to make the voting process quicker.

If you live in a municipality with an elected government but haven't received a voter information card you can still vote by presenting a valid piece of identification.

The elections are for Mayors and Councillors in communities across the province.

Voting for District Education Council and the Regional Health Authorities are also taking place at the same time.

The second advance polling day will be Monday, and election day is the following Monday, May 14th.
