91Ô­´´ residents have several choices for MP in each of the three local ridings when the nation heads to the polls Monday, April 28.

The riding boundaries have changed since the last federal election.

Aldergrove is now part of the Abbotsford-South 91Ô­´´ riding, while North Aldergrove and the Glen Valley area are now part of the new 91Ô­´´ Township-Fraser Heights riding. The Cloverdale-91Ô­´´ City riding is the only one of three 91Ô­´´ ridings that didn’t experience significant boundary changes. Elections Canada redraws ridings to ensure an equitable number of people in each.

People interested in running in this election had register with Elections Canada by Monday, April 7. These are the people registered as of Monday. The formal list of candidates will be announced April 9 (after press time).

General voting day is Monday, April 28, but there are opportunities before then to vote. Advance polls are Friday, April 18 to Monday, April 21. There are also opportunities to obtain special voting ballots which can be mailed in or taken to an Elections Canada polling station. While people can register when they go to vote, if they have the correct identification, it streamlines the process to register in advance through the Elections Canada website.

People can vote at Elections Canada offices anytime they are open until April 22. The offices within 91Ô­´´ are at 20621 Logan Ave., and 20486 64 Ave. They are open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Voter information cards are being sent to registered voters. The cards show where and when a person can vote; the accessibility of the assigned polling station on election day and advance polling days; how to request voting assistance in advance, including language and sign languages interpretation; and the address of the closest Elections Canada office where a person can vote by special ballot. People must bring this card with them when they vote, along with accepted ID, to make the voting process easier.

If the card does not arrive by Friday, April 11, people should go to the Elections Canada website, or contact the nearest office by phone or in person before April 22.
