Early voting "brisk" at Durham returning office ■mm 2006 BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer CLARINGTON - Voting has been • brisk at Durham riding's returning office, where eligible voters who might be unable to do so on federal election day, Jan. , 23, have been able to do so every day, including Christmas Christmas and New Year's, since the election was called. The office, which is located located at Courtice Court Plaza, 1411 Hwy. 2, has experienced experienced "very brisk and consistent" consistent" business since the writ was dropped for the federal election, said Elections Elections Canada field liaison officer Ted Rytwinski.

Though .he was unable to say if more voters than usual were taking advantage of the chance to vote early, Mr. Rytwinski did say many were doing so to take advan tage of nicer-than-expected winter weather, due to having having extra time during the holiday period before New Year's Day, or because they had winter trips planned that wouldn't allow them to be on hand to vote on election day. "Every day it seems to get a little busier," said Mr. Ryt winski. "It continues to get busier as days go by." Advance polling stations will also be set up Friday, Jan. 13, Saturday, Jan. 14, and Monday, Jan. 16, from noon to 8 p.m. at Baseline Community Centre, 2444 Baseline Road in Bowman- ville; Faith United Church, 1778 Nash Road, Courtice; Scugog Recreation Centre, Centre, 1655 Reach St. in Port Perry; and, Uxbridge Baptist Church, 231 Brock St. W.
