With the polls in B.C. closing in less than two hours, here's a rundown on how The Tyee will be bringing you the results of the 2011 Federal Election.

Breaking news. Look for a new cover feature replacing this one as soon as Canadian Press publishes its projected winners.

Comments reopening when polls close. By law we are not allowed to broadcast results from earlier time zones. We've closed comments for now, but at 7 p.m. you are invited to join our contributors posting comments to this article and the one to follow, creating a communal blog of the unfolding evening.

Dispatches from key ridings and voter gatherings. Check The Hook for posts throughout the evening from The Tyee team. You can read The Hook's latest rolling headlines on our Tyee home page or go straight to The Hook here.

Twitter. Follow our Twitter account tonight for live updates from Tyee reporters across B.C. (For a direct link to the Tyee account, go here.) And feel free to send us your feedback: just add @thetyee to your Tweet. But remember folks, Section 329 of the Canada Elections Act prohibits the premature transmission of election results... so please Tweet responsibly!

Andrew MacLeod at Green leader Elizabeth May's post-election party. Stay tuned for interim reports on The Hook and a feature story tomorrow morning.

Katie Hyslop at NDP candidate Jasbir Sandhu's post-election party in Surrey North riding. She, too, will be filing interim reports on The Hook and a feature story tomorrow morning.

A dozen Tyee contributors tomorrow will make sense of the new Canadian landscape that greets us in the morning -- and you are invited to chime in, too.  [Tyee]
