Elections Ontario has released preliminary figures on how many Ontarians cast their ballot during advance polls for the 2022 Ontario election.
It indicated that in the 10-day period for advance polls, there were 1,066,545 votes representing about 9.92 per cent of eligible voters.
For comparison, in the 2018 provincial election, when there were five days of advance polling, 698,609 cast a ballot representing 6.8 per cent of the eligible population.
That’s an interesting increase in early voter turnout.
