People with symptoms of COVID-19 will be able to vote outside polling stations, the provincial agency said.

"Polls are open across the province today and election officials are ready to help make voting safe and easy for all Ontarians," said Greg Essensa, Chief Electoral Officer of the 'Ontario.

“I encourage all electors who have not yet voted to go out and vote in Ontario's 43rd general election,” added Essensa.
