Here are the voting hours for each time zone. All times are local.
Newfoundland — 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Atlantic — 8:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Eastern — 9:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Manitoba — 8:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories — 7:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Pacific — 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
This means polls in Newfoundland and Labrador will close at 7 p.m. ET — and all polls will be closed by 10 p.m. ET.
A very large portion of results from Québec to Alberta will be coming in at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Approximately 5% of ballots have been cast via the mail, and will begin to be counted on Tuesday due to a security measure to ensure that the mail-in vote hasn't voted in person before. Ridings that are a close race will likely take a few days to have a winner confirmed.
Feel free to discuss anything surrounding the 2021 Canadian federal election. Today is your last chance to vote!
15 minutes before the polls close in Newfoundland, we'll have a new megathread up where we'll discuss results as they come in.
Feel free to share polls, your experience voting, the number of signs in your neighbourhood, or spicy predictions regarding results later this evening.
Welcome to the 2021 Canadian Federal Election Megathread. Everything election related can be discussed in here. Please make sure to follow the subreddit/reddit rules.
