The rail corridor referendum in Lake Country continues to draw strong interest.
During the advance poll Thursday, 531 people cast ballots at the Oyama Community Hall. That brings the number of ballots to 1,584 during the first two advance polls.
“It was terrific to have such a great turnout at both advance polls so far,” said Reyna Seabrook, chief election officer.
The results for Friday’s advance poll were not known at press time.
The next advance polls are Monday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Okanagan Centre Community Hall and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the municipal hall.
General voting day is Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at George Elliot Secondary School.
Residents are being asked to borrow $2.6 million to purchase the rail corridor in the municipality.
