Canadian Election - Advanced Polling Days are starting - April 18 to April 21

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]

And likely the country itself, since Polievre is a fucking coward who'll give the Toddler-in-Chief whatever he wants.

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.

Yeah. We bailed as we're still nervous about lines and groups (#covid) and we'll go back when it's quieter.

I do not remember a queue like this ever before. Everyone must've had the same idea. Unless turn-out is insane - and this election was held against a very unsettling backdrop so, maybe - we're hoping it'll be quieter later.

COVID hasn’t gone away, and immunocompromised people can still die from it (or regular flu).

Although for people with regular immune systems, COVID seems no worse than the regular flu now; just in time for H5N1 and a measles mutation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Voted over the weekend - we went later in the day, and it turned out to be perfect timing! literally no one in line when we got there, we were in and out in less than 3 minutes. I can't imagine what the lines are going to look like closer to the last day.
