What time is the voting station open?
Voting stations are open from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Election day unless the local authority passed a bylaw allowing voting stations to open earlier than 10: – 00 a.m. Employees who are electors have the right to have three consecutive hours to cast their vote while the voting station is open. If the hours of the employee’s employment do not allow for three consecutive hours, the employer shall allow him or her any additional time for voting that is necessary to provide three consecutive hours. The additional time for voting shall be granted at the convenience of the employer. If the employee’s normal employment hours end at 5:00 p.m., the employee would have three consecutive hours in which to vote, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. See sections 46 and 58 of the Local Authorities Election Act.
