Jan 22, 2019 | 6:45 AM

NANAIMO — Advanced voting starts today (Tues. Jan 22) in the Nanaimo byelection, where the stakes are high for the N-D-P government.

Residents will be able to vote in the advanced polls until January 27 if they can’t vote on byelection day, January 30th.

Six parties are in the race to replace former New Democrat Leonard Krog, including the N-D-P, Liberals, Greens, Libertarians, B-C Conservatives and the Vancouver Island party.

While the N-D-P is governing with the help of the three Green members, the balance of power in the legislature is tenuous with 40 New Democrats, 41 Liberals, one Independent and the lone vacancy.
