The campaigning is now complete, and now it is time for the residents of Manitoba to decide who will form their next provincial government.
Here in the Dauphin constituency, voters have a choice between two candidates in this election.
Gord Wood is looking to hold onto the riding for the Progressive Conservatives.
"I will be exhausted when this is all done. There has been a lot of door-knocking and a lot of visiting and events and things like that, but it certainly has been an exciting process. I have learned a lot and met a lot of people and have had lots of great conversations with people. But I am excited to where our PC team can take our region and the province, so I am really hoping for the best outcome."
For his first foray into provincial politics, Wood says it was everything he expected it to be.
"Everything and More yes! It was certainly a learning experience for me and it was good to see the behind-the-scenes of the operations. So certainly I will be very excited for when Tuesday comes, but a lot of nerves as well."
Wood is opposed by former MDP agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn, who also says the campaign went as they expected it to go.
"We put on 16,000 km and made sure I had the chance to visit all the people in the constituency. A number of questions have always come up and it sounds like people are concerned after seven years of the PC government. People are not happy about what has happened in the last seven years."
Kostyshyn adds he is not taking anything for granted going into today.
"I think what we have heard from the general public is that obviously, the record shows that health care is a disaster. The education component has got its challenges and I think we are going to be dealing with additional issues when we talk about settlement of contracts. Addressing the crime issue I think there is no doubt in our mind that we all witness this almost on a daily basis. And the jail closure obviously was a major economic downgrade."
Polls are open from 8 am until 8 pm tonight.
