Advance voting is now open for the Brooks-Medicine Hat byelection set to take place later this month.
Eligible voters can vote ahead of election day from Tuesday to Saturday this week. All polling stations will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the advance voting period.
Polling stations can be found at:

- Heritage Inn & Suites at 1217 2 Ave. W. in Brooks, Alta.

Premier Danielle Smith will be running for a chance at a seat in Legislature, along with Alberta NDP candidate Gwendoline Dirk and Brooks Mayor Barry Morashita, who is also the leader of the Alberta Party.
