The advance voting period lasts until 8 p.m. Saturday, and in 2015’s Alberta election, Saturday was the biggest day of all for advance poll activity. Alberta has done the opposite: if you want to exercise the vote-anywhere privilege you have to do it during advance voting. The valid “vote-anywhere” votes cast outside the elector’s home riding on Election Day numbered only 35,782. But the “vote-anywhere” votes will be the last ones counted, and there are no plans for that counting to begin at all on Tuesday. (The liberalized advance voting was sprung on the agency a tad late — the pertinent law only came into force on Jan. 1 of last year.)
