Elections Canada says there was been a sizable jump in the number of Canadians who voted in advance polls last weekend.

They estimate 5.8-million voters showed up to cast their ballots early, between last Friday and Monday, that's an increase of 18.5 per cent over the 2019 election.

A breakdown of the estimated number of voters who cast ballots at the advance polls in individual riding is still being calculated and will be available in the next few days.
