West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country voters have also requested mail-in ballots in significant numbers. West Vancouver has the 14th highest number of voters requesting the special ballots, with 7,158 mail-in ballots issued as of Tuesday morning and 3,887 of those ballots returned.

Voters in Burnaby North-Seymour had also requested a total of 4,531 mail-in ballots and 1,271 of those had been returned.

Anyone else wanting to vote by mail had better hurry, however.

The deadline for requesting a mail-in ballot is 6 p.m. local time today (Sept. 14). Voters can still request the ballot by .

Once a person has applied to vote by mail, their name is taken off the voter’s lists, so they can’t change their mind and vote in person. According to Elections Canada, that’s to ensure there is no confusion and that no voter can vote twice.

It’s the voter’s responsibility to ensure their ballot is received by the end of election day on Sept. 20. Voters can mail their ballots or they can drop them off to the local returning office or to a poll in their own electoral district.

Mail-in ballots are counted after the regular ballots on election day, once verifications have been completed.

Elections Canada has estimated that could take up to 24 hours in some ridings.

As of Sept. 14, and over half of those had been returned.

A further 5.78 million voters opted to cast their ballots in advance polls across the country, which were open Sept. 10 to 13.
