text: Perhaps you should check your own "facts." Votes cast in advance are not counted on election day. And unless there are sufficient of them cast in any given riding to alter the outcome, they are never counted. Example:
  
  Candidate A = 1500 votes on election day
  Candidate B = 1000 votes on election day
  Advance votes = 250 in total
  
  The total number of advance votes cannot change the outcome of the election, so they aren't even counted. On the other hand, if Candidate B had 1200 votes to Candidate A's 1300, the advance votes would be counted.
  
  You're welcome.
