MISSION – The City of Mission says there’s been a substantial increase in advance voting numbers compared to similar voting dates four years ago when the last municipal election was conducted.
In a statement, the municipality says turnout at two advance voting opportunities, held October 7 and October 10, exceeded turnout from the corresponding advance voting days in 2022 by approximately 50 per cent and 100 per cent, respectively.
“The response from Mission voters during advance voting was fantastic to see,” said Taryn Hubbard, Chief Election Officer for the City of Mission. “Local government affects everyday lives and I encourage every eligible voter to take part on October 17 and help shape Mission’s future. We’ve got free local transit for the day and voting places throughout the community to support what’s sure to be an exciting day.”
The city is reminding residents that they may cast their ballot at any of eight designation locations, since voters are not assigned to a specific voting location. In other words, eligible voters are encouraged to vote at the location most convenient for them.
