Ottawa's last advance voting day today: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at your assigned voting place
Friday, Oct. 16 is Ottawa's final advance voting day before election day (Oct. 26), with polls open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Unlike the Oct. 1–4 special advance days, voters today must go to their assigned voting place in their ward. Mail-in ballots must be received by 8 p.m. tonight.
Why it matters
For voters who missed the Oct. 1–4 special advance days, today is the last in-person chance to vote before election day on Oct. 26. Ottawa is electing a mayor, city councillors and school trustees, with transit, housing and cost of living dominating the campaign.
