Alberta voters to decide today if NDP’s Nenshi, separatists to hold legislature seats
- Elections are being held today in three Alberta constituencies—Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, Edmonton-Ellerslie, and Edmonton-Strathcona—as residents select new MLAs in provincial byelections.
- The byelections come after recent vacancies caused by Nathan Cooper stepping down to accept a position as Alberta’s envoy in Washington, D.C., and Rod Loyola resigning to pursue a federal election campaign.
- Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi seeks to win a legislative seat in Edmonton-Strathcona after sitting out for a year, while several parties, including separatist Republicans, contest other ridings.
- Advance polling showed Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills had the highest turnout at 13%, well below the just over 60% participation seen in the 2023 general election.
- Official results will be published July 3, with unofficial results expected Monday night, while experts note byelections usually have lower turnout and do not alter provincial government control.
