Elections Canada is estimating over 14,000 voters have cast their ballots in the advanced polls for the Battle River–Crowfoot riding.

The riding has gathered a lot of attention across Canada as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is looking for a seat in the House of Commons.

Additionally, the riding has gained attention due to the longest ballot initiative.

Advanced polls were open from Aug. 8 to 11.

During that time, Elections Canada estimates that 14,454 electors cast their vote.

The byelection is on Monday, August 18.
