Canadians hoping to vote early in the upcoming federal election have until the end of the day to visit an advance polling station as the campaign enters its final week.

Today is the fourth and final day that advance polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. before the general election date of April 28.

And until 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Canadians can also either cast their ballot at an Elections Canada office in their riding or apply to vote by mail.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will return to the Greater Toronto Area today to make an announcement in Scarborough following a weekend trip to British Columbia.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is still in B.C., making campaign stops in Nanaimo, Comox and Port Moody.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will start the final week of the campaign in Prince Edward Island.
