Second advance voting for Area C by-election open

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The last advance voting opportunity for the Area C by-election opened Wednesday at the Pomeroy Sports Centre. 

The two candidates for the by-election are Suzanne Haab and Brad Sperling, who both ran in the previous election in October 2022. 

Eligible Area C voters can cast their advanced vote between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. in the sports centre’s first-floor meeting room.

Residents must have two pieces of identification ready before voting: one to confirm residency in Area C and another to establish identity. 

The by-election comes after the October election for Area C was declared invalid by the Supreme Court due to votes being cast by residents outside the area.

The official election will take place on February 25th.
