Some Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick voters have received robocalls incorrectly saying they can cast a ballot on days other than election day.

Elections Canada confirmed reports of calls to HuffPost Canada, but also said that there is no indication they are widespread. It stressed that Monday is the last day to vote in the federal election, not Tuesday as at least one call appeared to suggest.
