Haven’t voted yet? It’s not too late yet – polling stations close at 21:00. Here you can find the place to vote.
Candidates usually hold rallies on election night for supporters. It is common practice for candidates and their teams to inform the media where they will be so that reporters can get a reaction to the results.
In this campaign, almost every candidate passed this information on to CTV News Ottawa when asked. But Lisa McLeod, who is running for a fifth election as MPP in Nepean, is silent on the radio.
CTV News turned to her campaign staff to ask, but never received an answer. Employees in the media office of PC Party also did not answer questions about where it will take place.
The election ends in just over an hour, and we still don’t know if McLeod is holding a rally for supporters and, if so, where.
Ottawa’s CTV News presenter Graham Richardson has been late in voting on some Ontario stations.
Ottawa-Vanier is not the only ride where results will be delayed. Nineteen rides across the province will delay results, some by up to two hours.
Visit here for a complete list.
Voting hours in poll 018 in Ottawa-Vanier will be extended by 24 minutes.
Several polling stations in Ontario will remain open after the scheduled closing time of 9 p.m. The Ontario election says Poll 018 in Ottawa-Vania will close at 9:24 p.m.
All other polling stations will close at 9 p.m.
There are several rides to watch in the Ottawa area tonight.
In Ottawa West-Nepean in 2018, PC candidate Jeremy Roberts defeated NDP candidate Chandra Pasma by less than 200 votes.
Now the two candidates are running again, with Roberts seeking a second term as MPP.
In downtown Ottawa, NDP MP Joel Harden is seeking re-election. Prior to that, the ride was liberal for 15 years, with candidate Katie Gibbs hoping to take her back to the party.
And in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, Liberal MP Amanda Simard hopes to win re-election. She won as a candidate for computer in 2018, but later left the party due to layoffs in Francophone education.
She and PC candidate Stefan Sarazin have been friends throughout the campaign, according to polls.
The Ontario election says it has fixed a problem where voter information has not been leaked to political parties for most of Thursday morning after polling stations opened.
The issue did not concern polling stations, but rather the information provided to parties to inform them who voted or did not vote, which is known as “strikeout data”.
These data are used by the parties to find out who should try to go to the polls.
