Advanced Voting for the 2015 Canadian Federal Election is open Friday, October 9 to Monday, October 12. Although it is Thanksgiving weekend, it is the best opportunity to cast your ballot ahead of Election Day on October 19, which is a much more hectic work day with longer line-ups.
The Armenian National Committee of Canada (ANC Canada) endorsement list can be found below by riding. Note that many riding boundaries have changed. You can check your current riding at elections.ca. Candidates are endorsed on an individual basis, due to their personal commitment to advocating Armenian issues.
