Ontario members went to the polls on Thursday to vote in the 2022 provincial election. There are 124 polling stations, 63 of which are needed to form a majority government.
Content of the article
Progressive Conservatives won 76 seats in 2018, but retained 67 when the legislature was dissolved before the campaign, with changes due to expulsions and resignations. Studies show that the progressive Conservatives, led by Doug Ford, are ready to form a government with a second majority.
In 2018, the NDP won 40 seats with Andrea Horvat as leader and sat at 38 in the dismissal after expulsion and resignation. Meanwhile, the Liberals hope to recover from the devastating defeat four years ago, which reduced their club to just seven seats. But leader Stephen Del Duca, who lost his seat in 2018, is also facing an apparently tough race in his own ride at Von Woodbridge.
The Green Party hopes to expand its band from one place – won by leader Mike Schreiner in Guelph four years ago – and expects a potential opening at Parry Sound-Muskoka. There are two parties to the right of computers that also hope to expand their caucuses in one place – the New Blue Party and the Ontario Party.
Most surveys close at 21:00. The first results will be published by 21:30 and will be updated every 30 minutes. Use our scorecard to find out how your ride was voted and to see upcoming races across the country. Or check out our live blog for the latest news and analysis.
