The 2018 civic elections in B.C. won’t take place for another 11 days, but Kelowna residents wishing to cast their ballots early will be able to do so tomorrow.
On Wednesday, October 10th, advance polling will take place at two sites in Kelowna: City Hall and Parkinson Recreation Centre, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at both sites. Kelowna voters will also be able to submit advance ballots on four other dates prior to the civic elections on Saturday, October 20th.

Residents can choose the day, place and time to vote that works best for them.”
