Toronto will elect a new mayor in just two days and maybe, like a lot of potential voters, you've been too busy or just plain uninterested in following the daily ins and outs of the 45-day campaign.
We get it. But if you want to cast a ballot and aren't sure who to vote for, CBC Toronto has got you covered.
Here's a roundup of key information about the byelection and our coverage of the candidates vying for your vote to help you make an informed decision.
We'll have full coverage of the byelection results when polls close at 8 p.m. ET on June 26. You can watch our streaming special on cbc.ca/toronto or on YouTube, or tune in to CBC Radio or CBC Listen.
If you already voted at an advance poll or you're already sure about who you'll be supporting Monday, please consider sharing this story with someone you know who isn't quite there.

Toronto is facing a lot of really big challenges these days — so many that it can be hard to keep up with them all.
Here is CBC Toronto's Chris Glover with a quick breakdown of the pressing problems that have defined this election. Which of the issues matter most to you? That's something to think about while you contemplate your top pick for mayor.
WATCH | These issues may decide the mayor's race:
You can hardly be blamed for being overwhelmed. There will be 102 names on the ballot for mayor (yes, you read that right), more than any other election in the city's history.
We reached out to each and every single one of those candidates to ask two things: why they want to be mayor, and where the public can find more about their platforms. Not every candidate responded, but you can the answers of those who did here.
If that's all a bit much, public opinion polls suggest there are about seven or eight candidates who have emerged to lead the field.
Find more from them below.
All of the top candidates have websites where you can find their full platforms or a list of all their various promises.
