Canadians go to the polls after US president’s tariffs and talk of country becoming 51st US state upended election
A record number of people – 7.3 million – have already voted during an early voting period that was held last weekend. That topped the 5.8 million Canadians who voted early at the last federal election in 2021.
All ballots in a Canadian federal election are counted by hand in front of witnesses, and the final results are validated over a period of time then made available online.
