Advance voting in the Surrey South byelection begins today.
the seat became vacant after Liberal Stephanie Cadieux resigned in April to become Canada’s first chief accessibility officer.
There are five candidates vying for the seat. They include Pauline Greaves for the BC NDP, Conservative Harman Bhangu, Simran Sarai of the BC Green Party, Elenore Sturko with the BC Liberal Party, and Libertarian Jason Bax.
Among the key issues is a proposed hospital in Cloverdale, which became a flashpoint last month when the BC NDP warned a vote for the BC Liberals would put the facility in jeopardy.
Advance voting takes place from Sept. 1 to 4, and then from Sept. 6 to 7, with voting places closed for the holiday Monday. General voting day is set for Sept. 10.
