Voting in Ontario has been extended to 27 polling stations.
The Ontario election says 19 rides are affected, and as a result, the census cannot begin in those areas until their election is closed.
A source familiar with the vote count told Canadian Press that the extension was due to several reasons, including some polling stations that opened late and others had to relocate due to technical problems as well as power outages.
The election is expected to close across the province at 9pm ET, and extensions to those affected will last between 10 minutes and two hours.
