If you're eager to cast your provincial election ballot after hearing the party leaders' debates or reading local candidates' profiles in The Tri-City News, you're in luck — early voting starts this weekend throughout B.C.
Advance polling stations will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday as well as from May 3 to 6.
Don't know where to put your mark? Check the white card that BC Elections mailed this week and last; the addresses of advance voting stations are listed.
And if you didn't get a white card, call 1-800-661-8683 or visit elections.bc.ca to find out the location closest to your home.
You can vote — at advance polls or on general election day, May 9 — if you are:
• a Canadian citizen
• aged 18 or older
• and have been a B.C. resident for at least six months.
Eligible voters can register or update their information when they vote.
To prove your identity and home address, you can show either a B.C. driver's licence, a B.C. Identification Card or a BC Services Card (with photo). Alternately, you can show two documents that have your name; one must include your home address.
