Voters in the northern New Brunswick ridings of Miramichi Bay-Neguac and Southwest Miramichi-Bay du Vin are heading to the polls for a pair of byelections.
The Progressive Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the Green Party and the People’s Alliance each have candidates in both ridings.
There is also an Independent candidate in the riding of Miramichi Bay-Neguac.
The New Democrats, whose leader has announced he will step down later this month amid infighting in the party, did not field a candidate in either riding.
