The polls close at 8 p.m. but large lineups at Toronto polling stations could mean we will have to wait a little longer for results.
Four polling stations are scheduled to stay open later to accommodate voters. In Ward 23, Poll 19, located at McKee Public School (35 Church Avenue) has been extended until 8:20 p.m. In Ward 27, Poll 50, located at Village Green (55 Maitland Street), will be open until 8:10 p.m. and Poll 17, located at McMurrich Place (18 Davenport Road) will be extended until 8:15 p.m. In Ward 15, Poll 14, located at Glen Long Community Centre (35 Glen Long Avenue) will be open until 8:10 p.m.
With a record number of Torontonians turning out to advance polls this year, Toronto could see some exceptionally high numbers tonight as well. Anyone in line at 8 p.m. will be permitted to cast their ballot.
