Election Day is Tuesday in Nova Scotia, with polls open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
But many Nova Scotians have already voted, though early numbers are down from the 2021 election.
According to Elections Nova Scotia, 147,183 people have voted in early, advance and community polls at returning offices around the province. That also includes write-in ballots.
At the same point in the 2021 provincial election, 166,403 votes had been cast early.
Election officials did not mail out individual voter information cards this year because of the impending Canada Post strike.
Three people are running in the riding of Queens. Incumbent PC MLA Kim Masland is trying to win her third election in a row. She’s being challenged by Liberal Cathy De Rome and New Democrat Brian Skabar.
