Everything you need to know about the provincial race in Ottawa and eastern Ontario
Voters can now cast ballots, with advance voting Feb. 20-22 and voting day Feb. 27
Voters in eastern Ontario's 16 provincial ridings will have a chance to cast their ballots for their next member of Provincial Parliament by Feb. 27.
The region elected nine Progressive Conservative, five Liberal and two New Democratic Party MPPs in 2022.
In the years since Carleton's MPP Goldie Ghamari became an Independent, the Liberals took Kanata-Carleton from the PCs and the Bay of Quinte stayed PC through a byelection.
Voting is now possible at local election offices. Advance voting locations are open Feb. 20-22. Voting day is Feb. 27.
Elections Ontario has more information on the range of voting options, including for voters who are away, in hospital or need technological assistance.
