Advanced polls are now open and election night is just around the corner, but it can be a nervous time for candidates. 

Warren Michelson has been the MLA for Moose Jaw North since 2007 but did not run for re-election this year. 

Michelson said, in his first election, the hardest part was waiting as the ballots were being counted. 

“I know the first election we faced, we were constantly behind, not by an awful lot. I never lost faith, but I was tense,” he said. 

He added that the intensity only raises as the night goes on. 

“You've done all you possibly can. It's up to the people in your constituency now to make that decision. But what that decision is going to be at the end of the day is really very nervous, feeling very anxious feeling as you watch the polls come in.” 

Advanced polls are open from noon to 8 p.m. until Saturday and the election day is Monday.
