Advanced polling a popular choice among voters in PG ridings

People living in both Prince George-area ridings took full advantage of the advanced voting opportunities the past few days according to Elections Canada.

In Cariboo-Prince George, the preliminary number of advanced voters this year was 17,084 – up from the 12,479 residents who cast an early ballot in 2019.

For Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies, an estimated 16,214 people took advantage of advanced polls – a slight hike from two years ago where 15,431 constituents showed up to vote early.

Overall, more Canadians took the opportunity to cast their ballots early in this federal election.
