After a fast-paced 28 day campaign, today is election day in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant and Langford-Juan de Fuca.

We know it can be tempting to sleep in on a Saturday morning, but if you live in these two constituencies — and you haven’t voted already — it’s more important than ever for New Democrats to head to the polls to support Joan Phillip in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant or Ravi Parmar in Langford-Juan de Fuca.

There are plenty of polling places where you can pop in and cast your ballot — and they’re open from 8am to 8pm.

It’s fast, easy, and one of the most important things you can do to support our democracy.
