Pete McIntyre 107.5 KISSFM

Vernon's city clerk says the turnout for the first advance poll for the upcoming referendum was good. 293 people cast a ballot Wednesday at city hall. The final advance poll will be held Monday with regular voting day on the 26-th. City clerk Patti Bridal was expecting around 300 voters for the first day. She says there's 27,000 elligible voters for the referendum, and she says getting half that many would be considered an excellent turnout. She says the public will be welcome to visit city council chambers on voting night, to see the results posted.Residents are being asked if they support borrowing up to 30 million dollars for a new civic complex.
