After a 36-day federal election campaign, Canadians will have their final say on Monday.
Millions of people will head to their local polling station in the 45th federal election.
The Liberals are looking for their fourth term in power with new leader Mark Carney at the helm.
Pierre Poilievre will try and lead the Conservatives to victory for the first time since 2011.
A party will need to win at least 172 seats across the country to form a majority government.
At dissolution in late March, the Liberals had 152 seats while the Conservatives had 120 seats.
The Bloc Québécois had 33 seats, followed by the NDP with 24 and the Green Party with two.
There were three independent MPs in the House of Commons and four seats were vacant.
Millions of Canadians have already cast their ballots, with a record 7.3 million voting during advance polls.
More details on where and how to vote can be found on Elections Canada’s website.
When will we get the results?
Polls are open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. throughout the Maritimes, with the first vote counts expected about 30 minutes later, according to Elections Canada.
However, unlike a provincial election, it will be several more hours before we get a clear picture of which party will form the next government.
Voting hours across the country are staggered so most of the results are available around the same time.
The majority of polling stations outside of Atlantic Canada will close at 10:30 p.m. Atlantic Time.
Our newsroom will have updates online and on-air throughout the evening once the polls close locally.
