Canadian Election - Advanced Polling Days are starting - April 18 to April 21
Vote on advance polling days at your ASSIGNED polling station

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]
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.
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!
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.
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.
