Voters in two Calgary ridings can cast their votes early this weekend ahead of the byelections set for April 3.
Calgary-Heritage has been vacant since former prime minister Stephen Harper resigned.
And Calgary-Midnapore was held by former federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney, who resigned last fall to run for the leadership of the Alberta Progressive Conservatives, a job he won last weekend.
Advance polls are open Friday through Monday, from noon to 8 p.m.
