The Manitoba Provincial Election is just hours away, but do you plan on casting your vote?

While up at Clear Lake, we asked some people if their plans for election day included heading down to the polling station, and this is what they had to say:

"Yes."

"That's the idea anyways, I guess."

"Yeah, every election I can vote in, I do vote. I do my research, I know who I'm voting for, and what I'm voting for."

We then asked them why they thought voting was important.

"Well, you have your say, democracy. It's important for people to contribute, and be part of your community. And it's kind of almost a responsibility to help your community. So you make a decision and form the government or not form the government, but you need to participate, and voting is participation."

"It gives you a voice, sometimes at least you have a chance to complain. If you don't vote, if you don't let your voice be known, then I don't think you have the right to complain about it. It gives you a chance to at least be a part of, maybe, something bigger than yourself."

Polling stations open up at 8 am tomorrow morning and close at 8 pm.

730 CKDM will have full election coverage all day tomorrow, including a live election show starting at 7:30 pm.
