Elections Alberta unable to confirm voting stations have closed

by Amy Jaquish October 19, 2026October 19, 2026

According to Global News, Elections Alberta is unable to confirm that all voting stations have closed.

While the last polling station closed at 10:10 p.m. Elections Alberta has yet to hear from all stations that they are done recieving votes.

This will lead to a delay in results.

Voting stations are requried to allow every person in line to vote, even if it is past it’s closing time, which could lead to a delayed closure.

CBC is reporting that Cardston Siksika polling station is still open and receiving votes.
