Today is federal election day. Here in the riding of Provencher, voting began at 8:30 am.

Scrutineers at the Pat Porter Active Living Centre in Steinbach say it's been steady all day so far. And they are looking forward to things picking up as we get toward the later afternoon and early evening hours.

Meanwhile, those running the polling station at Mennonite Heritage Village are saying it's been pretty steady all day long, with a little bit of a lunch rush and naturally picking up after lunch.

The polls in Steinbach are open until 8:30 this evening.

We will carry regular updates on the results after the polls close.
