Advance voting is set to start Wednesday in provincial byelections in Ottawa and Toronto.
Eligible voters in two ridings, Kanata-Carleton and Scarborough-Guildwood, can cast a ballot at advance voting locations from July 19 to July 21.
Elections Ontario says applications to vote by mail are due by Friday at 6 p.m., with election day on July 27.
Advance voting locations for Kanata-Carleton are open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from July 19-21

- KANATA RECREATION COMPLEX – 100 CHARLIE ROGERS PL.

The Ottawa-area riding of Kanata-Carleton was vacated in March when Merrilee Fullerton abruptly resigned both her post as minister of children, community, and social services and her seat.
The east Toronto riding of Scarborough-Guildwood has been vacant since Mitzie Hunter, who held one of the few Liberal seats, resigned last month to run in Toronto’s mayoral byelection unsuccessfully.
Another byelection will have to be called in Kitchener Centre in the next six months after Laura Mae Lindo resigned from the seat she held for the New Democrats last week.
