People across the province turned out in droves to advance polls to cast ballots ahead of Alberta’s 28th general election, with sometimes lengthy lineups reported at polling stations around the city.
Returning Officer Anne Marie Darichuk tells 660News, even though most voters have already been registered, people should still bring along some identification.
People not on the list, can still be registered to vote, as long as they are a Canadian citizen, 18 years of age and have lived in Alberta for the last six months.
Advance polls are open again Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
Elections Alberta is encouraging people to get out and vote, if not at an advance poll, then on Monday April 23rd.
