About five per cent of voters visit advance polls
Friday October 10 2008
About five per cent of local voters seized the opportunity to cast ballots in advance of Tuesday's federal election.

Elections Canada released the preliminary estimates of voters who participated in advance polls held Oct. 3, 4 and 6. According to those numbers, 20,758 votes were cast in Brampton's four electoral ridings.

In Bramalea-Gore-Malton there were 4,676 ballots; in Brampton-Springdale there were 5,496 voters at advance polls; 5,053 voters came out in Brampton West; and early polls brought out 5,533 in Mississauga-Brampton South.

The turnout amounts to 20,758 of the 378,786 registered voters in Brampton's four ridings and a little below the advance poll turnout recorded during the last federal election.

The rest of Brampton will have an opportunity to vote Tuesday at polling stations from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
