Tonight, anticipation is high in Toledo East after a full day of voting in the bye election to elect a new area representative after the death of longtime incumbent Mike Espat.
A total of 7,725 registered voters had three candidates to choose from, Dennis Williams for the UDP, Osmond Martinez for the PUP and Will Maheia for the PNP.
At 5:00 pm, a total of 4,227 voters, or 54% - had come out - and the turnout is expected to be comparable to the 2020 figure of 68%.
But which side had the advantage on the ground today?
Courtney Menzies joins us live from the counting station for this large division, the Toledo Community College in Punta Gorda Town.
Courtney, what does it look like out there?:
