If they chose to vote in advance of election day in another district, eligible voters will be given the appropriate ballot with the candidates for their electoral district. This option is available at the returning offices for the for districts with by-elections and at any advance poll location. On elections day voters must vote at their assigned voting location or at the returning office in their own electoral district.
