Over the first two days of advance polling, approximately two million Canadians cast their ballot, according to Elections Canada.
That’s a 25 per cent increase from the number of voters who voted during the first two days of advance polls in the 2015 federal election.
The two million votes already cast come in addition to any votes cast on Sunday, or that have come in through the special ballot process, or on postsecondary campuses.
Last week Elections Canada said that the turnout at advance on-campus polling places across Canada was also considerably up from 2015.
In 2015 more than 3.6 million voters cast their ballots at advance polls, a 71 per cent increase from 2011.
