Voters in British Columbia headed to the polls Tuesday with Adrian Dix, leader of the New Democratic Party, favoured to oust Liberal Premier Christy Clark.

It wasn’t in the cards for the NDP leader, however. Multiple media outlets projected a majority government for the B.C. Liberal Tuesday night.

About 3.1 million people registered to vote, according to Elections BC.

The general election, the first for both Clark and Dix as party leaders, was also contested by the Conservative Party of British Columbia and the Green Party.

Polling stations opened at 8 a.m. PT and closed at 8 p.m.

The Liberals jumped into the lead in early returns and never fell behind the Opposition New Democrats. Their victories included both Kamloops-area ridings that have long been considered bellwethers in provincial elections for a century.
