I voted too! I don't know why they have early voting, and then voting day. Just give us voting week.

It was so nice to go early in the morning before others could show up. Nice and quick.

I'm glad you voted! Expanded voting access like advance polls is definitely a positive change. Making voting more convenient and accessible benefits everyone.

But of course, while accessibility is important, the fundamental issue remains that under our current FPTP system, millions of perfectly valid votes will have zero effect on the election outcome. No matter how convenient we make voting, we still need proportional representation to ensure every vote actually counts.

Do you know which candidates in your riding support proportional representation?
