Participation
Quebecers headed to the polls in huge numbers today. So far, voter turnout is at 52.74 percent.
During the last provincial election in 2008, total turnout was recorded at 57.8 percent -- a record low turnout since 1927.
This evening, the Liberals and the Parti Quebecois are dancing with very close numbers. In the West Island riding of Jacques Cartier, the Liberal (Geoff Kelley) party was elected. Jean-Marc Fournier was elected in the riding of St-Laurent.
More to come....
