Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade, Parti Quebecois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and Quebec solidaire’s Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois are all making stops outside voting stations today.

Advance voting is cancelled today in Iles-de-la-Madeleine as the remote eastern island chain deals with the effects of post-tropical storm Fiona.

Elections Quebec said late Saturday that voters in the islands can vote on the second advance polling day tomorrow if weather permits.

St-Pierre Plamondon and Legault have both said they intend to visit Iles-de-la-Madeleine on Monday if conditions allow.
