If you think you’re going to be busy or away on federal election day, October 19th, you can cast your ballot this weekend.

Elections Canada is holding Advance Polls starting today and going until Monday at locations across the country.

Polls are open between noon and 8pm and sites are listed on individual voter cards.

Media Rep James Hale says it’s just a coincidence it all falls on the long Thanksgiving weekend.

He says by law, Elections Canada must hold Advance Voting one week before election day.

Remember to bring your voter information card and photo I-D, to prove who you are and where you live.
