The polls will close across the Okanagan and around B.C. at 8 p.m. tonight as residents vote to elect new city councils, boards of education and regional district directors.

Once the polls officially close, come to Castanet for complete, live coverage of all the races in the Central Okanagan.

Senior political reporter Wayne Moore and Kelowna Coun. Tracy Gray will anchor Castanet's live coverage from our downtown Kelowna studios.

Reporters Alanna Kelly, Madison Erhardt and Nich Johansen will be in the field at various election headquarters, while a bevy of data crunchers will keep our results page up to date as numbers come in.

Coverage begins right at 8 p.m. and goes until the last results are known.
