Almost 40,000 New Brunswickers casting their ballots in the advance polls held Saturday and Monday for the municipal election.
Elections NB tells CHSJ News that's a significant increase over the 26,000 who voted in advance four years ago.
The theory is that either people are very interested in this campaign or they like the convenience of voting in advance or both.
Greater Saint John had very strong numbers this time out with over 3800 voting in advance of election day this Monday.
