Advance voting for Edmonton's municipal election starts on Monday.
Advance voting for Edmonton's municipal election starts on Monday.
From Oct. 4 to Oct. 13, eligible voters can head to advance voting stations to have their say.
Polls will be open every day from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., including Thanksgiving Day.
One voting station has been assigned for each of Edmonton's 12 wards.
Last week, the city began delivering nearly 500,000 voter information cards to Edmontonians. The cards include information on where to vote, who can vote and what to bring to a voting station.
"Voters are going to need to bring a piece of identification that has both their name and residential address on it," Aileen Griesbrecht, returning officer and city clerk for the City of Edmonton, told reporters on Friday morning.
Griesbrecht said lineups to vote for the election will be organized outside voting stations to limit the spread of COVID-19.
