Some early numbers for advanced polls show more than 9600 ballots were cast in the four days dedicated for voting ahead of Monday’s by-elections.
That’s down significantly from the 12,300 counted in advanced polls for the same four ridings in the 2012 provincial general election.
This year for Calgary-Elbow, less than 1200 ballots were cast.
In Calgary-Foothills, nearly 3000 turned out ahead of Election Day.
Calgary-West saw slightly fewer than 2500.
The only Edmonton riding up for grabs, Edmonton-Whitemud, had the most advanced votes counted at just over 3300.
Election staff are prepared for a strong turnout on Monday.
