Elections Canada is expecting a strong turnout today as Canadians head to the polls in Canada's 42nd federal election.
Polls are open until 9:30 p.m. in Quebec, and since the polls opened at 9:30 a.m. there has been a steady stream of voters heading in to cast their ballot.
Many people believe that Quebec will be a battleground, as polls indicate that Quebecers are not voting en masse for one particular party.
Sebastien Dallaire of Leger said it appears we are heading for a Liberal government.
We basically end up now in the same place we started in terms of the ballot question: is it time for Stephen Harper to go, yes or no?" said Dallaire.
"The Liberals steadily went up throughout the campaign, one point an a time each week, and then faster at the end," he said.
He said the NDP seems to have been hoping for the Liberals to collapse, and to ride the wave of anti-Harper support.
"It was the first time in their history that they started out in the top position," said Dallaire.
"They took the cautious approach, and unfortunately for them the Liberals did not collapse as some people were expecting."
When it comes to the results, Dallaire said people should look to trends in suburban and urban Toronto, where the Liberals have steadily lost support over the past three elections.
In Quebec many parts of the province are up for grabs, with the Conservative party fighting hard to finally win a seat on the island of Montreal, but with stronger chances around Quebec City.
Coverage of the election results begins on-air on CTV at 7 p.m., in a national special event hosted by Lisa LaFlamme, and online at montreal.ctvnews.ca.
