The federal election is less than two weeks away, but advance polling is open for those who don't want to wait to vote.
Here's what you need to know to cast your ballot in Newfoundland and Labrador for the 2025 federal election.
When and how to vote
There are a number of ways to cast your ballot.
Advance polling begins on Friday and runs until Monday at assigned polling stations. You can find advance polling locations on your voter information card or the Elections Canada website.
You can also vote on election day itself — Monday, April 28 — at your assigned polling station. Polls will be open from 9:30 a.m. NT to 9:30 p.m. NT.
To vote by mail, you have to apply by Tuesday at 6 p.m. NT, and return the special ballot by mail or in person at an Elections Canada office before polls close on April 28.
Special ballot voting is open at acute care facilities starting on Sunday and running until Tuesday.
In order to vote in person you must confirm your identity. Elections Canada lists three ways to prove your identity and address.
One method is to show a piece of identification, like a driver's licence or a card issued by the Canadian government with your photo, name and current address.
You can also show two pieces of identification that both have your name, and at least one must have your current address, like a utility bill.
If you don't have identification on you, you can declare your identity and address in writing, and will need someone assigned to the polling station you know who can vouch on your behalf.

Lorne Gunter: Carney Liberals build groundwork to blame pipeline failure on private sector

Article content Early on in his tenure as PM, Carney had given the clear impression he was in favour of expansion of oil and gas, maybe even the oilsands. Then the Liberal platform came out mid-campaign and gone was any reference to oil, gas or pipelines. It was only 'clean energy,' such as wind and solar, bug burps and Tibetans prayer wheels, or whatever other trendy 'green' energy sources have mesmerized 'progressives.' Even when Carney met with the 13 premiers last week, the oil-province premiers Danielle Smith of Alberta and Scott Moe of Saskatchewan left the summit believing there was a real chance a pipeline might make it onto the Liberal government's approved list of national-interest projects.

UK government hopes to regain political initiative as Treasury chief outlines spending plans

LONDON (AP) — Britain's Labour government hopes to regain the political initiative Wednesday when Treasury chief Rachel Reeves sets out her spending plans for the coming years, with big increases expected for health, defense and housing. Reeves, who has been blamed by many for Labour's decline in popularity since it returned to power after 14 years in July, will outline the government's spending and investment priorities for lawmakers. There will be no tax announcements. Reeves is expected to argue the government is on the path to 'renewing Britain' but that 'too many people in too many parts of the country are yet to feel it,' according to remarks issued by the Treasury. 'This government's task — my task — and the purpose of this spending review is to change that, to ensure that renewal is felt in people's everyday lives, their jobs, their communities,' she is expected to tell lawmakers. Labour won a landslide victory last year on a slogan of 'change' and voter anger at the Conservative administration in power at the time, but its vote share was historically low for a winning party at 35%. In the months since, Labour has been overtaken in opinion polls by the anti-immigration and recently formed Reform U.K. Reeves has been blamed by many for Labour's struggles, not least her decision in July to withdraw a winter fuel subsidy to all but the poorest retirees. The outcry, which contributed to Labour's poor performance in recent local elections, prompted Reeves to about-turn and raise the threshold at which retirees will get the subsidy. She and Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hope the change will stem the anger and focus voters on other issues, such as its spending priorities. Among the main announcements is expected to be a 30 billion-pound ($41 billion) increase in funding for Britain's cherished but struggling National Health Service, as well as a rise in defense spending that will account for 2.5% of national output by 2027. Billions more are expected for social housing as the government aims to meet its target of building 1.5 million new homes by the next election. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. However, some departments are set to lose out after accounting for inflation, including local government, the justice system and the Home Office. Reeves has insisted she won't go on a big splurge, arguing that all her spending plans will meet her self-imposed fiscal rules. After raising taxes on business in her first budget last October, Reeves will find it difficult to swell the Treasury's coffers further in coming years as Labour won the election on a promise it would not increase income or sales taxes. And with the British economy still growing at historically low levels, the tax take is not expected to get a big lift. Reeves will hope her investment plans can help change that.
