On Aug. 13, Elections Canada announced that an estimated 14,500 electors voted in the Battle River–Crowfoot advanced polls.

The advanced polls ran from Aug. 8 through Aug. 11.

Elections Canada notes that the number of electors participating in the advanced polling is an estimate only, as not all polls have yet reported.

According to the Elections Canada website, the population of the riding is just over 110,000 people, showing that around 13 per cent of the population took part in the early vote.

Voting day for the byelection, which has seen a record number of candidates on the ballot, including Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre, is on Aug. 18.

As of July 28, there were 214 names on the ballot, forcing Elections Canada to redesign the ballot for the byelection.
