My husband and 2 adult kids and I all vote on election day, so that's 4 votes.

We voted very early at elections Canada office with special ballot. It was quite busy! I don’t think those 7.3 million include special ballot voters. Just saying.

Longest year of the week is how it feels.

Yep, that’s pretty cool.

Let’s have a strong finish; please vote!

Democracy in action for some, but the disintegration of left representation is also a lack of democracy.

I'll be working at the polls on election day, hoping for a busy day. My husband and I voted on the day I had my training.

I find it nearly impossible to believe PP has the ability to inspire record early voting, so.....that sounds like great news!!

My roommate & I voted this afternoon. There was a good turnout when we where there, we beat the lunch rush. 🇨🇦🍁
