Elections Alberta Shares Locations of Polling Stations Ahead of Referendum Next Month
Elections Alberta says more than 520,000 people have applied to vote by mail as officials expect record turnout on the 10-question referendum.
Elections Alberta published locations for over 1,400 polling stations for the Oct. 19 Alberta Referendum, allowing Albertans to identify where they will cast ballots in Edmonton and across the province.
The 10-question referendum asks Albertans whether they want to remain in Canada or hold a second, binding vote on quitting Confederation, with election officials expecting record voter turnout.
Elections Alberta is setting up 310 polling stations for the advanced voting period from Oct. 13-17, where voters may cast ballots at any available station during that window.
Voters can locate their polling station through the Elections Alberta website or await their "Where to Vote" card in the mail, with the deadline to apply for mail-in ballots set for Friday.
Danielle Smith recently made an emotional plea for Albertans to reject separation, citing progress with Ottawa, as officials anticipate record voter turnout for the consequential referendum.
