Voters in the Â鶹AV West riding are heading to the polls today to mark their ballot and determine who will represent them in legislature.
The riding has been without representation since former premier Christy Clark quit politics last August.
Five candidates—Shelley Cook of the NDP, Ben Stewart of the B.C. Liberals, Robert Stupka of the B.C. Green Party, Libertarian Kyle Geronazzo and Mark Thompson of the B.C Conservatives—are running in the byelection.
With the vote in mind, we hit a polling station to check in with voters and ask why they felt it was important to mark their ballot today. You can check out their answers above.
Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and voting places in the riding include:
- Powers Creek Community Church
- George Pringle Elementary
- Chief Tomat Elementary on East Boundary Road in West Â鶹AV
- Lakeview Heights Baptist Church on Alhambra Drive in West Â鶹AV
