After four weeks of campaigning, Election Day is finally here in British Columbia.
The polls are now open and the four party leaders have officially stopped campaigning.
NDP leader Adrian Dix finished up a whirlwind day of campaigning with a stop at his Kingsway campaign office, just an hour before voting began.
The last day has been a busy one for the Dix campaign, with an unprecedented 14 campaign stops in 24 hours.
Liberal leader Christy Clark closes out her campaign with a visit to a bakery before she campaigns in her riding of Vancouver-Point Grey.
Clark spent yesterday rallying in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.

Clark has kept the focus on the economy in the final hours before the election.
Conservative leader John Cummins makes a stop in Chilliwack before returning to Langley where he will cast his ballot. He spent time yesterday pumping gas and talking to voters. On the last day of his campaign, he wanted to remind British Columbians about his plan to scrap the carbon tax.
Green Party leader Jane Sterk is attending an Election Day campaign street party at her campaign office in Victoria. Yesterday she received some federal party support, mainstreeting in downtown Victoria with Elizabeth May.
The Greens are hoping they can pull out a win in one of two ridings on the Island that are thought to be in play.

If you don’t have those things, two documents together that show your name and residential address will do.
