US EditionByelection day in Alberta nears for vote with 214 candidates, including Poilievre
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre aims to regain Parliament in a by-election with 214 candidates after losing his seat; previous MP secured nearly 83% of votes in April.
- Voters return Monday to the Battle River-Crowfoot riding in Alberta, where Pierre Poilievre is among 214 candidates vying for a seat.
- In June, Damien Kurek, a long-time MP, stepped aside to allow Pierre Poilievre to run in the byelection.
- Out of about 86,000 registered voters, 14,454 advance poll ballots were cast, and Elections Canada is using a blank ballot due to the high number of candidates.
- The results will inform a January leadership review, with Conservative Party members deciding `Poilievre's future` in the byelection.
- Despite his April loss, Parliament is scheduled to return in September 2025, and Poilievre may reshuffle the opposition front benches in a riding that has been a Tory stronghold for a century.
