Record Advance Voting Turnout in Canada
Nearly two million electors cast ballots on the first day of advance polls, setting a new record and exceeding the 2021 total by 36 percent. This surge in early voting, despite reports of lengthy wait times across the country, indicates significant voter engagement. While the impact on overall election turnout remains uncertain, the high advance poll numbers suggest considerable enthusiasm. Elections Canada is actively adjusting operations to manage the unexpectedly high volume of voters.
