The race in the CRD Area A By-Election is picking up its pace.

30 more people took advantage of an early voting opportunity on Tuesday, February 17. A little more than the first advance poll back on February 11, when 28 people cast their early ballots.

General Voting Day is on Saturday, February 21, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The polling locations are the École Red Bluff Lhtako Elementary School and the Kersley Community Centre.

Voters are choosing between Nicole Audet and Chris Helmink to replace the late Mary Sjostrom as the new Director for Area A, Red Bluff/Quesnel South.

The winner of the By-Election will have to campaign again in October during the general voting season.
