A number of advance voting days will take place in Red Deer ahead of the Oct. 18 municipal election.

The first day of advance voting took place last Saturday with 172 people casting their ballot. This is double the number of voters who came out to vote on the first day of advance voting in the 2007 election.

Advance voting will take place at the Recreation Centre (4501-47A Ave.) in the Sportsman Room.

Citizens can cast their vote at the Recreation Centre include Oct. 8, 9, 15 and 16. Advance polls are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on those days.
