High turnout at the advance polls was a good indicator more people would vote in this federal election.
More than 3.6 million ballots were cast over four days in advance polls over the Thanksgiving weekend, up 71 percent from 2011.
Nationally, the turn out was 68 per cent with over 17.5 million votes being cast, the largest since 1997.
Prince Edward Island had the highest at 77.4 per cent, with Yukon 76 per cent and New Brunswick 74.6 per cent close behind.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, only 61.5 per cent cast ballots, with Nunavut 62 per cent and Northwest Territories 64.4 per cent, also drawing fewer voters to the polls.
