AFTER YOU VOTE, COME BACK FOR LIVE RESULTS ON ORILLIAMATTERS' CANADA VOTES PAGE
It's Election Day in Canada.
In Orillia and throughout Simcoe North, polls are open until 9:30 p.m.
To vote, you must be at least 18 years old, be a Canadian citizen and prove your identity and address. If you have a voter's card, bring that to the polling station listed on the card, along with ID.
Approved pieces of ID include driver's license or other Canadian government-issued ID with your photo, name and current address. This includes ID issued by federal, provincial or local government.
Without government-issued ID, you can show two pieces of ID with your name and one must have your current address. According to Elections Canada, this includes a voter information card and bank statement, or utility bill and student ID card.
More information on how to vote without ID and a list of acceptable documents are available here.
If you're unsure of where to vote, you can find your polling station on elections.ca.

They are Conservative incumbent Bruce Stanton, Liberal Gerry Hawes, NDP candidate Angelique Belcourt, Valerie Powell for the Green Party, PPC candidate Stephen Makk and Christian Heritage Party candidate Chris Brown.
