Advance Polls Set to Open for Federal Election

With just over ten days left before the federal election date, advance polls are readying to open.

Noting advance polls will be open from 9 am to 9 pm all Easter weekend - starting tomorrow and running through Monday - Elections Canada Media Relations Officer Richard Theoret reminds ID is required.

Theoret says there's a few ways to find out where to go.

Theoret notes there are other options to vote early, such as casting your ballot at an Elections Canada office - there's one in Wawa, though the closest for Chapleau is in Timmins - or voting by mail, though you must apply online for that.

Election Day is April 28th.
