SASKATOON -- Advance polling for the Saskatoon municipal election begins Friday morning.

At 11 a.m., six polling locations throughout the city will start serving voters.

In addition to potentially helping to prevent election-day lineups during the COVID-19 pandemic, the polls also offer flexibility because they do not require voters to cast their ballot in a specific neighbourhood — any voter can use any advance poll location in the city.

However, on election day voters are required to head to a polling station specific to their neighbourhood.

Earlier ths week, due to a larger than expected demand for mail-in ballots, the City of Saskatoon asked voters to consider using advance polls or to cast their ballot on election day.

Advance polls will continue daily through Thursday, Nov.. 5. Election day is Monday Nov. 9.
