From the Times Colonist:
The future of the Johnson Street Bridge seems to be catching the imagination of an increasing number of Victorians.
At the close of two days of advance polling, there has been a 33 per cent increase in advanced voting compared with the last general election in 2008, the city says.
A total of 1,459 people have voted in two days of advanced polling, including 816 who voted Monday.
Residents are being asked whether they favour borrowing $49.2 million toward replacement of the Johnson Street Bridge, and to select one of 11 candidates running in a council byelection.
The last general election in 2008 saw 27 per cent of Victoria's 64,000 eligible voters cast ballots. The last opportunity to vote will be Saturday — the day of the byelection.
