Vote on advance polling days at your ASSIGNED polling station

They run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on:

  • Friday, April 18
  • Saturday, April 19
  • Sunday, April 20, or
  • Monday, April 21

The rules for voting on advance polling days in the federal election differ from those of some provincial elections, where you can vote at any advance voting place in the province. You cannot do the same in the federal election. If you choose to vote during advance polling days, you must vote at your assigned polling station. To find your advance polling station, check your voter information card or use the Voter Information Service. [same links as above]

One hour lineup on fri.

Frankly surprised at how many others showed up that day, but glad. People need to be more active in the democratic process or else it only benefits the already powerful because they never forget to vote.

Could be. Some places make election day a mandatory holiday to encourage turnout. Frankly, I think we should do that here for elections on all levels for the same reason.
