Welcome to the 2021 Alberta municipal elections and referenda!
Voters across Alberta municipalities will go to the polls today to elect local Mayors, Councillors, and School Trustees. Voters will also participate in local plebiscites and two province-wide referenda on the Equalization formula and Daylight Savings Time. Finally, voters will also nominate Senators-in-Waiting.
Note that some province-wide results may not come until later.
As with other live discussion threads in our subreddit, Rule 3 is generally relaxed; however, make sure that your comments and reactions are substantive and respectful.

I'm trying to find a site that summarizes all of the info on the main party leaders, their values, and platforms in something digestible that I can share with people, and for myself. Calgary has some pretty savvy political redditors, so your help would me MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!
This is happening at the same time as our municipal election. You'll vote at the same time and place for both.

Remember, just like the equalization payments plebiscite, the AB government doesn't care what you think unless you vote like how they were going to act anyway. These provincial ballots are non-binding.
A couple that are good for a laugh:
