Election Information

I recommend that you check the links yourself! I've copied some of the information below:

Ways to vote

See this page for full details.

Vote on election day (April 28)

Vote by mail

Special Ballots

Remember: Once you apply to vote by special ballot, you can't change your mind and vote at advance polls or on election day.

See this page for deadlines for when you can apply for one, and when they must receive it by. It also has information on what you must do differently when filling out this ballot: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=vote&dir=spe&document=index&lang=e

If you are having any issues, reach out to your local Elections Canada office to know your options.

This Liberal woman CBC has just finished talking to both looks and speaks an awful lot like Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec.

(This is not a bad thing.)

And, if you truly don't know for who to vote: cancel your vote. Go and check every single boxes of your ballot!

There's no reason why you shouldn't go and vote, even if you want to vote for no one!

I’ve worked elections before (but currently not working this one), it’s amazing how few spoiled ballots there were.

Are the early polling votes from last week not counted already? Because they've called the election for liberals already but the total vote count is less than the 7.6 million that voted early...?

CBC said it's riding by riding the order they count the ballots.

Looks like everything is in and it ended up with Liberals 169 seats, three short of a majority.

Although jeez, I can't imagine there isn't a recount in the riding where the difference was literally 12 votes out of 21,000. Crazy close.

Either way, I'm guessing the 7 NDP and 1 Green basically become de facto Liberals to create a pseudo majority since at least that way they'll have some influence and it wouldn't be in their best interest to topple the government and go through all this again.
