The by-election will take place on Thursday, September 20 and polls will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. The Advance Poll schedule will be released at a later date. Applications for Special Ballot voting are now being accepted.

Elections Newfoundland and Labrador encourages qualified electors in the Windsor Lake district to either confirm their registration or add themselves to the voters list. Inclusion on the voters list provides benefits to electors, such as receiving personalized Voter Information Cards that detail where and when to vote.
