Record turnout in advance polls as millions of Canadians vote early

A record number of Canadians voted in advance polls over the weekend.

Elections Canada says that nearly 2 million people voted on Friday alone.

The record turnout led to some long waits, but adjustments were made to handle the high traffic.

Advance polling stations are open Monday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

The federal election is April 28.
