Lethbridge residents go to the polls for election day

This is a day many Albertans have been waiting for with the municipal election. Specifically our windy city of Lethbridge. As Micah Quinn explains, this is set to become a historic election day for a multitude of candidates.

Through the advance voting opportunities, 12 per cent of eligible Lethbridge voters have already cast their ballot for the 2021 Municipal Election.
