Voters are being encouraged to check their voter card for their polling station or if you don’t have a voter card to go on Election Canada’s website.
Those who opted for the mail-in ballot option but have still not sent it can still drop off their Special Ballot at a polling office.
According to Elections Canada, the final results will not be available on election night because of the increase in mail-in ballots.
