Voters in District 10 Charlottetown-Winsloe had until Tuesday evening to request a mail-in ballot if they'd rather not — or can't — go to a polling station for advanced or regular voting.

The deadline was 6 p.m. on Oct. 20. 

People who are Canadian citizens, at least 18 years of age, and residents of PEI since at least April 6 were invited to apply for the ballots at www.electionspei.ca.

The Nov. 2 provincial byelection is the first electoral experience for Prince Edward Islanders since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

It is being held to choose a replacement for MLA Robert Mitchell, a former interim leader of the Liberal Party of P.E.I. He announced on Sept. 3 that he was stepping down as the representative for the district. 

Advance polls will be open this Saturday, Oct. 24, as well as Monday, Oct. 26 and Friday, Oct. 30.
