Residents of the Thompson constituency are heading to the polls today for the provincial by-election.

Only two parties are running candidates in the by-election. New Democrat Eric Redhead and Progressive Conservative Charlotte Laroque are vying to succeed former MLA Danielle Adams, who died in a highway crash in December.

Elections Manitoba is urging residents to check their voter information card to find out their polling location and to have the appropriate ID when they go to vote.

The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
