But Vancouver's not the only city offering advance voting in Modo's service area. Click to find details for your city: Surrey, Burnaby, North Vancouver City, North Vancouver District, West Vancouver, Richmond, New Westminster, Port Moody and Coquitlam.

UPDATE, Nov 13, 2014: Check out some of the great pics members have already sent in!

Here's an infographic look back at some moments in Vancouver voting history. Did you know the City hasn't had a ward system since 1936? 

We had the data, so we made it visible: here's Vancouver voter turnout dating back to 1936. What year had the highest voter turnout? Let's get our voter turnout even higher this year! 

Ever wondered what the mayor, councillors, Park Board commissioners, and school trustees do in Vancouver? We created this little infographic to help you get a better sense of the roles played by our elected officials.
