It's voting day in Whitby-Oshawa.

Residents will choose a successor to former Conservative finance minister Jim Flaherty.

The Tories are running a high-profile candidate, former two-term Whitby mayor Pat Perkins, while the Liberals are going with entrepreneur, research consultant and political newcomer Celina Caesar-Chavannes.

Polls suggest the race is tighter than expected and both parties are pushing hard in the riding east of Toronto, with the Conservatives accusing the Liberals of running a smear campaign.
