LIVE: Canada Votes 2011 (News1130)

It's the final poll that has more weight than any other - the results of the 2011 Federal Election. News1130 has a team of reporters covering ridings across BC and will be giving you an inside look at the campaigns, the results and the reactions. Follow the race to see if the surging NDP can keep the momentum alive, if Stephen Harper and the Tories can win the majority they have been gunning for, if the Liberals lose more seats than they win and if Elizabeth May can finally get the Green party a seat. Get involved in the discussion below and expect live tweets from across the country all night!
