straight choice between Government and Opposition.

The United Bermuda Party's Patricia Gordon Pamplin is defending the seat for the Opposition.

And the Progressive Labour Party's George Scott will run for the second time in just four months -- although this time as a representative of Government.

The Paget Primary School polling station will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The by-election will be based on last June's Parliamentary Register, which showed a total of 1,332 voters in the area.

Parliamentary Registrar Marlene Christopher said everyone intending to vote should check they are listed on the register.

The by-election was caused by the tragic death of UBP MP Madeline Joell last month, who won the seat with running mate Tim Smith in last November's General Election.
