Elections Canada says its staff are ready for any voters who want to cast a ballot, even if their faces are covered.
That message comes after Ken Finlayson created a stir by voting at an Edmonton advance poll wearing a cowboy hat and a scarf covering everything but his eyes.
“The fact that we did have some people showing up with their face covered at the advance polls, I’m sure staff will be prepared to help them vote just as they would with any other elector,” said Leanne Nyirfa, a spokesperson with Elections Canada.
