advance polls

Quebecers are casting early ballots in the provincial election, with the economy, language policy and health care topping voters' concerns at advance polling stations. Early turnout gives an initial read on which issues will drive the final result, as parties have spent the campaign competing over cost of living, the future of French-language protections and strains on the health system.

Miami-Dade County has released its sample ballot ahead of the November 3 general election, giving voters a chance to review the races, candidates and measures they will see at the polls. Local outlets are sharing the ballot so residents can prepare and check registration and polling details before election day.
