Advance polls are now open. Here's where to cast your ballot in Waterloo region
Advance voting locations are now open across the province.
Election day is set for June 2, but people can start casting their ballots as early as Thursday May 19.
"I get to skip the lines a little bit, and it's also just something I look forward to," said Holly Jamieson, who was casting her ballot at the Downtown Community Centre in Kitchener on Thursday. "You don't get to vote that often. It's always a really exciting feeling. I've always loved it since I was first able to vote."
The advance voting period will run until May 28.
Venues are open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
"It's great not to stand in line on election day, and it's important for everyone to cast their ballot for the kind of government they want," said Mike Strathee, who also cast his ballot Thursday. "The provincial government makes all kinds of decisions that will affect our lives on a day to day basis for years to come, so if we don't vote we're basically saying we don't care about the future of Ontario."
