Pastor Edward Powell of the Grand Bay United Baptist Church isn't surprised given we have Sunday shopping and a lot of people not really observing other religious holidays.
Powell says it comes down to those who want to honour God on Good Friday will do so while those who want to vote will do that as well.
Elections Canada says it has no say in how the advance voting falls for the May 2nd federal election.
Spokesperson Karen Janigan says the law states the advanced voting must be held so many days prior to the actual election day -- but -- she tells CHSJ News there are other options available for those who aren't comfortable voting over the Easter weekend including a special ballot that can be cast at your local returning office.
