Advance voting in 3 federal byelections starts Friday. Here’s how to vote
Two federal byelections were held in Toronto-area ridings and one Montreal-area riding on April 13, which allowed Prime Minister Mark Carney to achieve a majority government.
Advance voting kicks off for three federal byelections scheduled for August 31. The elections will take place in the ridings of Beaches-East York, North Vancouver-Capilano, and Chicoutimi-Le Fjord. Nathaniel Erskine-Smith vacated his position as MP for Beaches-East York after losing the Ontario Liberal Party nomination. Jonathan Wilkinson, a former Liberal MP for North Vancouver-Capilano, resigned to become Canada's EU ambassador.
Richard Martel, a former Conservative MP for Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, was appointed to the Senate. Advance voting will be available from August 21-24, with polling hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time. Early voting can be done at local Elections Canada offices until August 25 at 6 p.m. local time. Mail-in ballots must be requested by August 25 and returned by the polls close on August 31. This is part of a series of recent byelections, including two held earlier this year.
