TORONTO — Voters are heading to the polls today in the Liberal stronghold of Beaches—East York in Toronto.

It’s one of three federal byelections being held today to fill recently vacated seats in Parliament.

Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith resigned the Beaches—East York seat last month, after running an unsuccessful campaign for the Ontario Liberal nomination in the provincial riding of Scarborough Southwest.

Erskine-Smith has since announced he is running for Toronto city council.

The other votes being held today are in Chicoutimi–Le Fjord, Que., and North Vancouver–Capilano, B.C.

For the Toronto riding, voting begins at 9: 30 a.m., and polls are scheduled to close at 9:30 p.m.
