Elections Canada says it made adjustments to deal with long lineups at polling stations in the early part of the long weekend.

Until 6 p.m. tonight, voters can still cast a ballot early at an Elections Canada office.

Federal leaders are making their final pitches to voters across the country with less than a week to go until election day on April 28.
