Wow, just over 25% of registered voters voted in the Advance Polls in my riding (MPR)!

I really hope that means a big turnout for Saturday (in a possible rainstorm

@chris I'm going to keep being annoying and chipper and linking you to stories about the 2023 Manitoba general: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/election-day-manitoba-polls-1.6981200

"Just before the polls opened, the skies over many voters did, too. A series of thunderstorms rolled through parts of southern Manitoba, prompting voters to bring out their raincoats and umbrellas."

@npilon really hoping so!!

@chris

My elderly mother and I both went early morning on the first day of advance voting. No lines, in and out and off to breakfast.

I drove past on my way home yesterday, and there was a long line of cars trying to get in there. She thinks it was lots of people trying to avoid the atmospheric river on Saturday.

@[email protected] Mainstreet has been quite off in the past but nonetheless this is interesting info. The advance vote appears to leaning NDP. Often early voting is seen as sign of people wanting change but apparently not in this case. However, there is a very strong Green vote too. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

@TheSaanichDaily interesting! Especially the Greens!
