On Friday, Toronto's advance polls period ended after eight days of early voting. Between Oct. 7 and 14, the city provided 50 locations where residents could vote.

In a press release, Toronto Elections said the deadline has been extended to "provide eligible voters more time to apply to vote by mail." 

The City of Toronto says it will cost an extra $2.5 million approximately to hold a 25-ward election imposed by the province compared to the original 47-ward structure previously approved by Toronto city council.
