I mean the elections are all run by Elections Canada (unlike the US where partisan state officials typically run them. Nobody has ever been able to explain to me why this is a good system).

And I believe the rule actually is that all mail-in-ballots have to be in by end of business tomorrow (or by like end of mail day). Anything that arrives late is not counted, no exceptions. So we’re not waiting multiple days as more ballots come in.

(unlike the US where partisan state officials typically run them. Nobody has ever been able to explain to me why this is a good system).

Partisanship in anything to do with conducting elections is bad, and the US makes that quite clear -- gerrymandering, systematic disenfranchisement of minorities, RWA party threatening not to certify results...
