What is clear from this polling is that 11% of likely voters have not decided who their candidate of choice will be.
Don't let the polling pundits decide your candidate for you. You get to say what polling means to you -- everything, something or nothing at all.
This Wednesday, CoVE is offering you yet another opportunity to take a look at a candidate in a new and different way: One-on-one (the candidate and the voters) in a question and answer session.
This week's line-up:
Vince Gray for Mayor
Dorothy Douglas for Chair
David Schwartzmann for At Large Council
Tim Day for Ward Five Council
(To hear what the mayoral candidate has to say, you must arrive on time; Vince Gray is scheduled to participate in another debate scheduled that night.)
Get answers to questions you have and be informed. Your vote is your power.
