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]
Is there any early data on turnout?

Elections Canada has announced preliminary estimates that show nearly two million electors voted Friday, the first day of advance polls.
François Enguehard, a regional media advisor in the Atlantic region for Elections Canada, said the turnout is up 36 per cent from the first day of advance polling in the last election in 2021.
Thank you sir!
Voted yesterday at 11 am, no one in line at my pole, but the one next to mine, there were about 20 people queued up. I think there might be a big turnout for this election.
30 min lineup at advance voting at about 4pm today. Everyone I talked to says it’s longer than previous years!
I’ve seen more people in line compared to the last two Ontario elections in total.
Bodes well for the non-traitors.
Currently in line with my family. The lines here are huge.
I guess with this being a stat everyone is available.
They should make voting days a holiday
My job gives me three hours out of the workday so I can vote.
It can become a stat. It should be a stat. The precedent is there.
It’s a law, every employer must allow voters 3h of time to vote : https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=faq&document=faqtimo&lang=e

Canada going the Trump way? Tory leader vows to deport foreigners for anti-Semitic crimes
And anti Semitic means anti genocide, since Israel has campaigned on making the terms synonymous and it appears they have been successful.
Successful in mass media, sure.
And likely the country itself, since Polievre is a fucking coward who’ll give the Toddler-in-Chief whatever he wants.
I heard people say the same about Carney. It’s so hard to trust sources of information now. :(
Only one of those two have similar rhetoric to trump and similar playback.
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.
I wonder if it was increased turn out due to it being a stat
Why don’t they just call it “Election Week”.
Because the actual election day is the week after advance voting ends.
I did my part meme. Toronto here. Arrived to advance polls mid-afternoon on Good Friday. Waited 30 min to vote. Lines were twice as long when I left. Similar reaction to others here: I’ve never seen advance voting this busy before. (It being a Stat holiday is probably a factor too.) If you don’t want to wait long, go to advance voting, and go at a strategic time. I am guessing - and hope too - that turnout will be really big this year. Polls might be super busy on election day.
Already voted. Civic duty done.
Nice to read that the lines are just as long for everyone else as they were for my lady and I. Brings a lot of comfort to see not only so many out to vote, but so many out to vote on early voting day!
Already voted before! It is a right that really should be exercised more often.
My parents think it will steal their vote. Even if they don’t vote. The elections in February they didn’t vote, and were happy when I lied about saying I never voted. My grandparents are the opposite, and encourage me to vote.
How will your voting affect theirs? This is baffling.
Idk, I am not them.
#NeverPoilievre
I voted yesterday!
It was a smooth process, in and out in 5 minutes.
I went Saturday morning first thing. Walked in and out in under 5 minutes. This was the first time I did advance polling and I’m super happy I did.
