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]
Why don’t they just call it “Election Week”.
Because the actual election day is the week after advance voting ends.
5 minute lineup voting today; went relatively smoothly.
Anyone voting in one of those ridings with more than 8 candidates? How did that go?
Just a reminder that a Conservative vote is literally a vote to destroy Canadian culture with their plans to defund the CBC.
You’re gonna be excited to learn about the deportation of protestors as lil PP said the other day.
What exactly do you mean by this?
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.
Some polls show a very close race, so this election might be much closer than suggested a week or two ago. Get out and vote!
I woke up late to vote and damn I’m paying for it
Either way I’m glad to see the massive lineup over where I’m at🤌🔥
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!
Already voted. Civic duty done.
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
I’m standing in line at the polls right now, and all I can say is to be prepared for long lines.
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.
It was Good Friday (stat. holiday) so I think a number of people figured this was the best day to go.
Yeah, from what I hear in my area, everyone went yesterday morning but it quieted down in the afternoon and evening
Please go vote. It’s imperative that everyone vote in this election.
We bailed as we’re still nervous about lines and groups (#covid)
Um, what?
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.
Regardless of the polling numbers. Get out and VOTE!!
If you can’t make it to your assigned advance polling station you can VOTE at any Elections Canada Office before 6PM on April 22nd.

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.
Great! heading out to early vote this am.
Why nearly? If you get there you may as well vote. 😂
I already voted - line up was huge ay the advance polls
Longest lines I’ve seen at an early poll.
One of the staff said about an hour wait.
I waited one hour to vote this morning. I don’t care though. One hour of my time to stop fascist is easy.

Absolutely. It’s good to see so many people motivated to vote ASAP.
They’re giving some of the older folks in the lineup chairs.
So far it’s been a hour in line. Still a bunch of people ahead of us.

They should be given priority. That’s a 50 person queue who never thought of that.
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.
