How to vote early

With the federal election 18 days away, many Canadians are expected to cast their ballots ahead of time.

There are a number of ways to vote before the April 28th election, including at advanced polling stations, at an elections office, or by mail.

Regional Media Advisor with Elections Canada Dugald Maudsley says if you want to go vote today, you can.

Maudsley adds that there are a number of advanced polling dates available before April 28th.

If for whatever reason you aren’t in your electoral district during advanced polling or on election day, there is also the option to mail your ballot in.

If you do this, Maudsley says you should start the process sooner than later.
