Wells residents have a chance today to vote early for a by-election to replace Robin Sharpe as Mayor.

An advance poll will be held from 8AM until 8PM in the Community Hall banquet room.

The names of Jay Vermette, Richard Wright and Jillian Merrick will be on the ballot.

Vermette is a former Mayor, serving two terms from 2005 to 2008, and then from 2008 to 2011.

Wright served multiple terms as a Councillor from 2005 to 2014 and was elected again, but left before finishing his fourth term because he moved away.
