The clock is counting down on the provincial election campaign trail, and it's been a historic year for advance voting as a record 200,790 Manitobans cast their ballots ahead of time.
Adjunct political studies professor Christopher Adams says it's been a memorable campaign. “I think there might be some people who might be thinking of a government change and are more interested in showing up to vote," he said. "And others who don't want a government change who are showing up to vote as well."
Adams said Manitoba voters often vote with the party's leader in mind more often than for the riding candidates themselves.
Those leaders were front and centre Monday as parties battle it out for seats in the Manitoba Legislature.
The Manitoba PC Party made their final push, unveiling a fully budgeted campaign platform the day before the election.
“Progressive Conservatives will grow Manitoba to become one of the fastest growing economies in the country. We're already doing that. What we are doing is working," said party leader Heather Stefanson.
She added that they will accomplish it with tax cuts.
