Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford make final push for votes. Live election day updates here

Carolyn Parrish cast her ballot for Mississauga mayor at Huron Park Recreation Centre on Monday morning alongside a granddaughter who she said just turned 18 and became eligible to vote for the first time.
Parrish said that while her confidence is “high,” entering the election, she is reminding Mississauga residents to head to the polls.
The turnout in the 2024 Mississauga mayoral byelection was less than 25 per cent.
“I think they need to get out to vote today. I think its really important,” she said of Mississauga residents.
Parrish’s two main opponents in the mayoral race are former mayor Bonnie Crombie and current city councillor Alvin Tedjo.
Crombie spent much of Monday morning greeting commuters at Erindale Go Station and told CP24 that it was really important to her that she use the campaign “to earn people’s trust yet again.”
“I am anxious but im excited too. I think I have run a great campaign and I am promising people what they need and that is that I am going to give them a future that they can afford and bring their tax rates back to the rate of inflation, I am going to keep our community safe and I am going to get our city moving again,” she said.
Tedjo voted in advance polls but accompanied his wife to vote at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Elementary School before speaking with reporters.
“Today is all about turnout. It is about making sure that people actually go out and vote. I think we saw in the last election that only one in four people actually voted and so this time we have a lot of hope that people want to see change,” he said. 

Four Toronto wards are guaranteed to see new representatives at city hall with no incumbents on the ballot. Longtime Parkdale High- Park Coun. Gord Perks announced that he would not seek re-election and Coun. Brad Bradford vacated his spot in Beaches-East York to run for mayor. While University-Rosedale Coun. Diane Saxe is not running for re-election in her ward, she may still return to city hall after throwing her hat in the ring to represent Toronto-Danforth following incumbent Paula Fletcher’s exit from municipal politics.  Saxe made the switch after former city councillor Mike Layton announced his intention to run in University-Rosedale.
Across the GTA, a number of incumbent mayors have stepped aside, including in Durham Region, where both the mayors of Oshawa and Ajax announced their intention to step aside.
Caledon Mayor Annette Groves is not pursuing re-election, along with East Gwillimbury Mayor Virginia Hackson.
Four towns in Niagara Region do not have an incumbent running, including Welland, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Thorold, and Lincoln.

Olivia Chow began her election day by speaking with supporters at Riverdale Park East while Brad Bradford held an event for his supporters at Zaffron Restaurant in North York.
Chow told supporters that she knows “these are not easy times” and that many families are “stretched” amid a challenging economic backdrop.
“You deserve a mayor who has your back and I have a plan to make life affordable. Lower TTC fares; after 10 rides a week the rest are free, I will cut property taxes in half for local community grocery stores and I will crack down on price gouging,” she said.
Bradford, for his part, used his appearance to speak about what he believes to be the current state of the city.
He said that Toronto is a great place but “is not living up to its potential.”
“We have all the ingredients to be the envy of cities around the world but we are not there yet. So let me be very clear about what you are voting for today: Folks that want change have the opportunity to deliver it but there is only one way to do that. If you want to change the city you have to change the mayor, if you want to change the mayor you have to do that at the ballot box,” Bradford said.
