Many Canadian voters wishful to avoid the longline and crowds on the election day and instead cast their votes in advance polls this weekend are facing long line-ups for the second straight day again. Sources confirm that polling stations in Halifax on Saturday, were a complete surprise for voters as many people had to face lines that started to form early in the day.
One of the voters from Halifax, Stephanie McInnis, reportedly was reputedly among the first few people to cast their vote on Saturday but, she claims, when she says crowds started to form soon after. McInnis elucidated that “there was no wait at all, but there’s a lineup there now, so we got there just in time.” Thereafter some voters had to wait for 40-minute wait just an hour after the polls opened, causing some potential voters to turn back. Verne Redmond alleged that “the lineup was far too long, and the way that they’re verifying the people is taking too much time.” Whereas another voter at a polling station, Roy Langill, also complained that voting took too long to complete. He stated that “it is just unacceptable. Everything’s in longhand. It’s supposedly a new process.”
Apart from the advance poll in Halifax, reports confirm that long waits were also witnessed at advance polling stations in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Vancouver and elsewhere across the country. Whereas, the wait times in nation’s capital, Ottawa, varied from 20 minutes to two hours.
