Get to know your candidates in the Windsor Lake byelection

The next general provincial election is a bit more than a year away, but people in the St. John's district of Windsor Lake are heading to the polls later this week.

A byelection vote is being held on Sept. 20.

Voters in the districtwill have to choose between Liberal Paul Antle, Progressive ConservativeChes Crosbie and New DemocratKerri Claire Neil.

The byelection was prompted by the departure of former finance minister Cathy Bennett, who in August announced she was resigning from the seat to return to private life.

There were already two advance polls held in the district, on Sept. 13 and 15.

CBC went out with all three Windsor Lake candidates. Check out the video features below, in alphabetical order.
