TORONTO - The polls are now open in Ontario and voters will cast their ballots at the end of a longer-than-usual election campaign.

But according to election watchers, there's a good chance the province might end up back where it started once all the votes are counted -- with another minority government.

Recent polls have suggested Premier Kathleen Wynne's Liberals were in a virtual tie with Tim Hudak's Progressive Conservatives, with Andrea Horwath's New Democrats nipping at their heels.

Wynne began her day with her usual morning run and called out to watching reporters, asking them if they were going to vote.

Horwath was also encouraging people to get to the polls as she rallied N-D-P volunteers in Toronto's Kensington Market.

Hudak is to appear later this morning in Mississauga. Polls will be open until 9 p-m.

The campaign was triggered by Horwath refusing to support the minority Liberal government's budget in May. There are 107 ridings at stake.

At dissolution, the Liberals held 48 seats, the Progressive Conservatives had 37 and the N-D-P held 21 while one seat was vacant.
