As results arrive for the byelection in Westside-Kelowna, where eight candidates including Premier Christy Clark are running, The Tyee will update them here.

Polls close at 8 p.m. in the Okanagan constituency.

Westside-Kelowna residents elected Ben Stewart in the May 14 general election. He resigned on June 11 to make room in the relatively safe BC Liberal seat for Clark who despite the Liberal victory lost her own constituency in Vancouver-Point Grey to the NDP's David Eby.

In the byelection Carole Gordon, who lost to Stewart, is running for the NDP. Sean Upshaw, who ran in Penticton in the general election, is running for the BC Conservatives.

Also running are five independents, Jag Bhandari, Dayleen Van Ryswyk, John Marks, Silverado Socrates and Korry Zepik.

The BC Green Party is not running a candidate in the byelection, but didn't run anyone in the riding during the general election either.

The final count is scheduled to start on July 17.
