Elections Canada has released estimates on the number of Canadians who cast ballots during four advance polling days for the upcoming federal election.
Chief Electoral Officer Stephane Perrault says preliminary figures show 5,780,000 electors voted at the advance polls between September 10th and 13th.
This is a 18.46% increase from the 4,879,312 electors who voted in advance of the 2019 general election.
Perrault notes these are estimates, as some polls may not have reported yet.
A breakdown of the number of electors who voted in all 338 districts will be available in the coming days on the Elections Canada website.
Federal election day is September 20.
