The agency says 8.1 per cent of registered voters in the Bay of Quinte have already voted.
It says in comparison, the riding saw 13 per cent of registered voters vote before the 2022 general election.

The by-election was triggered when former MPP and education minister Todd Smith resigned in August to take a position in the private sector.
Preliminary figures indicate that 7,885 voters (or 8.1 per cent of registered voters) in Bay of Quinte cast their ballot during advance voting.
