Voting has officially ended across Canada, with British Columbia being one of the final ridings (constituencies) to close its polls. The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carne, remains in the lead, according to the latest trends. The Liberals are leading in 132 seats, while the Conservatives are leading in 88. After experiencing an unexpected outage, the Elections Canada website is now back online.

To secure a majority government, a party must win at least 172 out of 343 seats. If current trends hold, Mark Carney, who succeeded Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader, is poised to remain Prime Minister.
