Advance voting numbers are up considerably in some Metro Vancouver cities, but it's too early to say whether that means anything for the outcome of Saturday's civic election, according to a pollster. In Surrey, 22,185 advance ballots have been cast, close to double the city's 2014 numbers. Vancouver saw more than 29,000 votes in the first six days of advance polling, up from 23,811 last time around, and Burnaby has had 10,139 ballots cast in three days of voting, up from 6,976. "But it's really too early right now to try to figure out, does this mean that there's going to be a change?" "In order to know whether this signifies change, we're going to have to wait until the ballots are cast," Canseco said.
