It's election day in Ontario

It's election day in Ontario.

Tonight we will find out who will be the next leader of this province.

Voting started at 9 a.m. ET and polls close at 9 p.m. ET. There have already been reports from voters this morning that some polling stations are experiencing issues with the electronic vote tabulators.

Since the writ dropped on May 9, we've been tracking the highs and lows of the campaign. It all comes to an end tonight.

CBC has special coverage of the election results tonight starting at 8 p.m. ET across all platforms, TV, Radio and Online.

Here's where we are on day 30.

Latest from the campaign

• Voters head to the polls after roller-coaster election campaign
  • After 15 years of Liberal governments, Ontario appears poised for a big change. There are 124 ridings being contested this year, up from 107 in 2014, meaning 63 seats are required for a majority. 
• On the trail with campaign volunteers—'If you don't have a thick skin, you'll develop one'
  • ​Starting a conversation with a stranger isn't easy. But thousands of party volunteers have done it across the province during this campaign. Today is one of their busiest days as they help voters get to polls — and even offer to babysit.

The moment

Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne and PC Leader Doug Ford both voted this morning in Toronto. Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner voted in Guelph, where he hopes to become Ontario's first Green MPP.

Ford cast his ballot at St. George's Junior School polling station in Etobicoke. He was joined by his wife and daughters.

Wynne voted in north Toronto this morning and was joined by her partner Jane Rounthwaite.

She encouraged everyone in Ontario to vote.

"Election day is always a special day," she said. "There's always unknowns. I'm looking forward to what Ontario decides."

Horwath voted in advance polling in her hometown riding of Hamilton.

Noted

With election day in full swing, several voters are reporting technology problems at the polls.

In this election, Elections Ontario is using new technology — e-Poll books and electronic vote tabulators — to check the names of voters and to record and to count votes.

Some voters have told CBC long lines were forming because an electronic vote tabulator was not working at their poll.

In an email to CBC News, Elections Ontario said 99.57 per cent of all technology-enabled polls are up and running across the province.

"The few voting locations that are experiencing technical issues are being addressed, if they have not already been rectified."

The spokesperson said in the event of a problem, poll officials will revert to the traditional paper method to enable voters to cast ballots.
