Voters are facing lineups at polling stations across the province, as many Quebecers head to vote after work in what has shaped up to be a nail-biter in several ridings.
Some of those riding races are so tight, candidates have been polling with less than a percentage point between them.
Polls are open until 9:30 p.m. in most of the province, though they close at 8:30 p.m. in the riding of Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
Several toss-up ridings between the Bloc Québécois and Liberals are on the South Shore of Montreal, including Longueuil–Saint-Hubert and Longueuil–Charles-LeMoyne.
