As Election Day on October 26 approaches, many municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) have begun early voting. Here’s everything you need to know about advance voting.
Toronto:
Early voting in Toronto began this morning, Tuesday, October 6, and will continue until Sunday, October 11. Polling hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Eligible voters should have received their voter cards in the mail, with Toronto Elections sending them out starting September 20. Voters can also access their digital voting card through the city’s MyVote service.
