2 days to vote in election, Tories propose
Friday, May 11th, 2007In an effort to bolster voter turnout, Stephen Harper’s Tory government tabled a bill on Wednesday to extend the amount of time Canadians have to vote in a federal election.
The bill proposes to stretch voting day to two days, meaning all polls would be open the Sunday before the usual Monday election day.
It also provides for four continuous days of advance polling over the second last weekend of an election campaign.
