Thursday, the provincial election campaign comes to a close as voters are set to choose a new government.

As millions of Ontarians are expected to head to the polls, CTV News has been looking into what you need to know to cast your vote.

At returning offices across the province, it's not about the politics; it's only about the voting.

Pauline Renaud is the Elections Canada returning officer for Nickel Belt.

"Well, at six o'clock, the crack of dawn, we'll be at it, making sure there are poll workers at every station, and then we go to sleep when everything's done." said Renaud.

Elections Ontario is reporting a spike at the advanced polls.

Close to 800,000 people have already cast their vote, which is almost 20% more than the previous provincial election in 2014.

For the rest of us, voting on Thursday, don't expect a long wait.

"If you have all your paperwork, 28 seconds should be good. If you don't have your paperwork, we'll go 30-something." said Renaud.

The voter information card, that you should have received in the mail by now, and a piece of identification with your name on it is all you need.

If you're not on the list, a driver's license, photo ID card, utility bill, bank statement or T-4 slip will do just fine. And even if you have no ID at all, voting is still possible.

"We can make you sign a statutory declaration, and either way, we'll make sure you can vote." said Renaud.

If you don't know where to vote, you can look up your polling place online by clicking on “Find your polling station” under the Related Links.

And if you think you don't have the time, by law, employers are required to give people three full hours to cast your ballot without being docked any pay.

Now, some voters may be tempted to take a selfie with their ballot.

Don't do it!

It's a violation of the Election Act to photograph any completed ballot.

If you absolutely need something for Instagram, a selfie outside of your polling place is fair game.

Polls open at 9 am and close at 9 pm, when CTV News election night coverage begins.

With vote tabulators installed at most polling stations, results should come within minutes of the last ballot cast.
