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.

Castanet reporter Colton Davies will be live streaming the vote count at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, where the winners will first be verbally announced. Chelsea Powrie will report from the count at Summerland municipal hall.

A bevy of data crunchers will keep our results page updated up to the minute as results come in across the region.

The live stream from the Trade and Convention Centre should start at about 8:15 p.m. on Castanet Penticton.
