Its election day!

While polls don't close until tonight, here's a thread for us to discuss the results as they come in rather than having to jump from thread to thread.

So I realized, last election I had cable, this one I don't, so watching the results on Rogers doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

There's a chance it may be on Rogers tv YouTube if I am interpreting this page right

Edit: I asked on Twitter, they confirmed it's streaming as well

Apparently the AMO is updating counts as well. From the CivictechWR slack:

AMO's site says that they'll be updating results as they come in.

I was really pleased to see that my voting station was quite busy. Also happy to see parents coming to vote with their children and involving them in the voting process at a younger age.

I ended up voting in Kitchener Ward 1: Deutschmann - Clarke/Galloway/Mazhar/Williams - Vrbanovic - Stretch - Estoesta/Kuhn/Van Dam.

Some media outlets are saying Regional Chair can't be decided because of Woolwich. Will they not release ANY results because they are still voting and not to influence the results?

Working for me, although the Rogers feed is bad.

Edit: Spinny wheel of death on the AMO sites

So they're saying Regional Chair official results not until Wednesday morning. I feel bad for the candidates.
