It will be later this week before all of the voter turnout information from advancing polling over Thanksgiving weekend, is tabulated and posted online. Regional media advisor for Elections Canada Ontario Rejean Grenier says they do have some preliminary information.
Grenier says one explanation for the increased turnout is more opportunities to vote. Compared to the federal general election in 2015 – advance polls for the upcoming election were extended to four consecutive days.
Daily polling hours were longer and there were more places designated for eligible voters to cast a ballot.
