It’s municipal election day in Ontario. Polls were open across the province from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., now all that's left is to count the votes.

Ballots are now being counted across the province to choose mayors, councillors and school board trustees.

Voters in London are electing a successor to former mayor Joe Fontana, who resigned as mayor this summer after he was convicted of government fraud for forging a document while he was a Liberal MP.

Advance polls in London had a large turnout, with 16,180 people casting ballots or 6.2 per cent of eligible voters.

Some hiccups at polling stations

Long lineups at polling stations may be a sign of good voter turnout, but they may also have something to do with some issues casting ballots.

As mayoral hopeful Joe Swan arrived to vote early Monday, he had to wait politely after the vote tabulator at his polling station refused to fire up.

Construction on Huron Street made it difficult for voters to access the polling station at the London Jewish Community Centre - including mayoral candidate Paul Cheng.

Meanwhile at Chelsey Park Retirement Home, some voters waited more than an hour after election staff didn't show up.

Voters were eventually re-directed to another polling station, and the returning officer says they've never had a polling station at that location, and there may have been confusion between federal and provincial locations.
