It is Election Day in Canada.
And, Canadians are showing up to polling stations across the nation to cast their vote in the federal election.
In the Âé¶¹AV riding, four candidates appear on the ballot, Stephen Furh - Liberal, Tracy Gray - Conservative, Trevor McAleese- NDP and Catriona Wright - Green Party.
Black Press Media attended a downtown Âé¶¹AV polling station to speak with voters about why they chose to exercise their democratic right, on April 28.
Answers ranged from pressure from the older generation and a sense of duty to vote, to wanting change or just wanting to feel validated to complain.
Polls in B.C. close at 7 p.m.
More than 25,000 people voted in the Âé¶¹AV riding during advanced polls.
