Didn't register to vote? You can still do so on election day | CBC News It's not too late for Canadians looking to cast their ballot who haven't yet registered to vote — Elections Canada allows voters to register on election day at their polling station.

VOTING IS EASY

We should all want to see a strong contingent of climate & social justice champions elected who will forcefully hold the next govt to account. If you are lucky enough to live in or near a riding where such a champion has a chance of winning, please do everything you can to help them.

🤞 Happy voting

Don't love DDS attacks on a site that informs Canadians about Canadian polling the day before an election
