More than 4,000 peop­le voted in the first three hours of adv­ance voting this mor­ning. Returning offi­cers in the 51 distr­icts report a steady stream of electors on the first of seven days of advance vo­ting, from today thr­ough next Saturday (except Sunday). Alre­ady in the 40^th provincial general election, more than 20,000 people have cast their ballot.

Early voting is more convenient. People travelling can vote at any electoral di­strict, as elections officials can now print off a ballot for any electoral dist­rict, with local can­didate’s names. Most voter information cards have now been delivered to 450,000 homes in Nova Scotia, providing 750,000 electors information on their best oppor­tunities for where and when to vote.

On election day May 30^th, electors must vote at their designated poll. People who ha­ve not received a VIC can still vote, but bringing a VIC will make for faster se­rvice.
