In photos: Canada’s 2021 federal election
While Monday is the final day to cast a ballot, it might not be when Canadians learn the result if the race remains tight. Elections Canada will only start counting the more than one million mail-in ballots on Tuesday and the agency has warned of other delays stemming from a mix of staff shortages, fewer polling stations and a slower voting process to accommodate physical distancing.
