Carolyn Parrish's lead in Mississauga's mayoral byelection has almost disappeared in the final days before the election, according to polling data.

Advance voting options are availableat 22 locations in Mississauga this weekendfor voters to head to the polls to elect a new mayor. A limited round of early voting at the Mississauga Civic Centre saw more than 40 per cent increase in turnout compared to last election the city says.

As the Mississauga mayoral raceenters its final stretch, some voters who don't rely on cars are using the moment to push cars out of the limelight in favour of other transportation solutions.

There are four advance voting days in the mayoral election. Options to vote early begin May 24 from noon until 8 p.m., but only in one location. More options open May 25 and June 1-2.

Mississaugans head to the polls on June 10 to choose the next mayor, but those who live in Ward 5 also have the opportunity to elect a new councillor. The seat was vacated by longtime councillor Carolyn Parrish, who chose to step down to run for mayor.

With weeks to go until the June 10 mayoral by-election day in Mississauga, campaigns are now busy putting up signs, using social media to get their messages out and trying to solidify their support. Experts say money makes a big difference in doing this well.
