Over 11,000 people cast their ballots during advance voting for the federal byelection of LaSalle–Émard–Verdun in Montreal.
Polling stations were open for four days – as of Friday and wrapped up on Monday. The exact number that came out to vote: 11,129.
There are over 78,700 electors in the riding, with a population of about 107,000 plus.
Election day is set for next Monday – September 16.
This ballot is the longest in Canadian federal elections history – a two-column ballot was created to list the 91 candidates. Due to this, results may take longer than usual to verify after the polls close.
The LaSalle—Émard—Verdun byelection comes after former Liberal MP and cabinet minister David Lametti resigned. He held the riding since 2015.
This will mark the first test for the Trudeau Liberals since losing a June byelection in Toronto-St. Paul to the Conservatives.
There will also be a byelection in the riding of Elmwood-Transcona in Manitoba on Sept. 16. Just over 10,000 voters cast their ballots in advance polling there.
