"[A]couple of elderly ladies, they didn't have proper ID and they had to sign this, and do this. And everyone is just backed up because there's only one polling station."

A spokesperson for Elections Canada said the agency couldn't have predicted such a large turnout.

"It's regrettable, but this is what happens when everyone decides to show up at the same time," saidFrancoise Enguehard.

"The returning officers, and the people in charge of the offices will do everything they can, and they have that flexibility, to make sure they try to accommodate the people who come."

The polls are open from noon until 8pm until Monday night.
