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)

Check the hours for your timezone
Check your polling station on your voter information card or by using the Voter Information Service website.

Vote by mail

This method is for those who requested mail-in ballots a while back.
Make sure that you get in your ballot on time: elections.ca/voting-by-mail
uses the special ballot process

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.

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...?

Are the early polling votes from last week not counted already

In one province they were allowed to start counting those 6 hours before polls closed. In all others, they could start 2 hours before, but it is optional and up to each riding's returning officer. So some ridings have it, some don't. CBC made it sound like they don't even know which ones have and which have not.

If you don't know who to vote for, I recommend using vote compass to see how closely you align to the parties.

[-] MacroCyclo@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

I'm usually disappointed by the vote compass. Lately it has been putting me between the Liberals and Cons because I am ambivalent about social issues and left leaning on economic issues. If you think it is non of the government's business which race/gender you are, that is putting you on the right these days.

I got the same result for the same reason.

I think the parties not releasing their platform until so late makes it incorrect.

It’s a good idea, but not good this election.

Bringing your voter information card with a driver's license or any other Canadian Gov't issued card with photo, name and address is like having a FastPass for voting.

This is not looking good so far. 🥲

Complete interprovincial trade by July?

What a terrible song.

What, you don't like country-gospel with awkwardly rammed in mood board words?

Hopefully we get a minority liberal government tonight. Mark Carney needs to taught to collaborate with others. I want him to be much more mature than Justin Trudeau ever was.
