Elections Canada allows people to vote at advance polls so that anyone not able to vote on May 2 has other opportunities. The advance poll days in this election are April 22, 23 and 25 from noon to 8:00 pm.
This year - fortuitously I believe - advance polling begins on Earth Day, April 22nd. There are several reasons for Greens to vote early not least of which is avoiding an unexpected barrier to marking your ballot on May 2nd. It also leaves us free to devote all our attention to the remainder of the campaign and getting out the Green vote.
Where are the Advance Poll stations?
The address is listed on the Voter Identification Card (VIC) sent by postal mail to every registered voter. Voters who did not receive a VIC by mail, can find the address of the Advance Poll station by calling Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868 or online:

Voters without a VIC can go to the advance poll station to register or change their address. Proof of identity and address will be required for anyone not already registered.
