Advance polls in three federal byelections to close Monday night
Liberal wins in the two Toronto ridings would lift the party to 172 House seats, enough for a majority, officials said.
- Advance voting opened last Friday for three federal byelections, including two Toronto-area ridings that could grant Prime Minister Mark Carney a House majority if the Liberals prevail.
- Scarborough Southwest and University-Rosedale became vacant after former Liberal MPs Bill Blair and Chrystia Freeland departed; Blair was appointed Canada's high commissioner to the United Kingdom, while Freeland became an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and CEO of the Rhodes Trust.
- Terrebonne's byelection follows a Supreme Court ruling that nullified the Liberal candidate's one-vote federal election win after a Bloc candidate challenged the result over an uncounted special ballot.
- Winning the two Toronto ridings would bring the Liberals to 172 seats in the House, securing a majority government for Carney and ending reliance on opposition support.
- Polling stations remain open through tomorrow, with Elections Canada offices accepting votes until 6 p.m. Tuesday; mail-in vote applications must also be submitted by Tuesday.
