Election day has arrived, and thousands of 91Ô­´´ residents will be casting their ballots in the provincial election betwee 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Early voting saw record-breaking turnout, with more than 1,001,331 casting a ballot at advance polls across six days.

This also marks the first provincial election with new riding boundaries, which increased the number of seats in the legislature to 93 from 87. In 91Ô­´´, boundaries were revised to raise the number of ridings from two to three: 91Ô­´´-Abbotsford, 91Ô­´´-Walnut Grove, and 91Ô­´´-Willowbrook.

This election, B.C. has also moved to electronic voting tabulation, in efforts to streamline voting and results. However, in close races, ballots will be recounted by hand.
