Advance polls in Ottawa saw a significant increase in voters casting early ballots in the 2026 municipal election, according to CBC News.
That is all that has been reported so far. CBC News is the only outlet to have published the story, and the details behind the increase, including how many people voted early and how that compares with past elections, have not been independently confirmed by ottown. We will not guess at figures that have not been made public.
For Ottawa voters, the early turnout is a sign that more residents are choosing to cast their ballots ahead of the final voting day. We will update this story if more information is released.
