Alberta Election: Map of riding results

The province of Alberta has seen an election full of personal attacks. Incumbent Rachel Notley of the Alberta New Democratic Party ran on a platform focused on highlighting her successes as the province’s leader, most notably her track record on economic issues. The other frontrunner, Jason Kenney of the United Conservatives, has sent a message that he is “fighting back” against those opposing Alberta, such as the federal government and environmentalists.

But both parties have also done a fair share of name calling: Kenney has been accusing Notley of being too cozy with Prime Minister Trudeau, while Kenney’s anti-abortion stance and track record with LGBT issues has been used to try and turn Albertans away from him.

With advance voting three times higher than in the previous election (thanks to a new vote anywhere policy the province put in place), many Albertans have already locked in their choice for who they want to see be premier. However no one really knows who will come out on top until the final votes are tallied.
