I asked about the form, because i don't ever recall filling one in, was told it was for school board trustee only. If you were on the master list, you didn't need it for councillor or mayor. #yycvote

I'm sure that any #YYC followers already have a plan to vote, but just in case, CBC's guide shows where to vote, what ward you're in, links to info on candidates. #UCalgary students can vote if you have a Calgary address on your driver's licence or taxes #YYCVote #YYCcc www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
It’s election day in Calgary. Here’s what you need to know | CBC News
Calgarians can cast their ballots Monday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for mayor, council and school trustee.

Well, time to update the ol' Sprawl #yycvote candidate list... with charges of fraud?! Yep. Police have charged Nathan Mizera (CBE trustee, wards 1 & 2) and Shawna Easthope (councillor, ward 1) with fraud re: Discover Bowness. Have reached out to both, will update the list if/when I hear back.

Nobody tell David Staples this is all because of the changes me and my UCP have made to how municipal elections are held in Alberta.

Let's see if he can use his "journalism" skills to figure it out on his own!🤭

#abpoli #yyc #yycvote #yeg #yegvote
A social media post by David Staples, columnist with the Edmonton Journal Post Media Newspaper, posted on October 27, 2024 which reads: The huge win for everyone on all sides, left, right and centre, is an election where everyone believes the results are credible. We used to do this effortlessly. Vote on Election Day with proper ID. Vote with paper ballots. Votes counted by citizens with scrutineers. A social media post by David Staples, columnist with the Edmonton Journal Post Media Newspaper, posted on October 20, 2025 which reads: Unbelievably stupid process to vote in Edmonton. Do they have no voter list anymore? Where they quickly check your name, ID and give you a ballot? Long line up to fill out paper with name/address, line up again so someone can check paperwork. Idiotic slow, stupid process. A snippet from a news article stating "The process for voting is different this year, which can impact the time it takes to vote. All electors are legislatively required to complete a Statement of Eligibility Form (Form 13) at the voting station. This form is a declaration by an elector that they meet the required legislated criteria to receive and cast ballots. Also, some electors will need to be added to the permanent electors register before receiving their ballots. This can take time. We ask Edmontonians to plan ahead and please have patience.

Alberta corporations have money to spare!

That's why my UCP changed election rules which allow corporations to donate to municipal political parties. Now, candidates can finally serve their wealthy elite donors!

It's election day. A defining ballot box issue never really emerged during the #yycvote campaign & so it's easy to think this election doesn't matter.

Read about why #yyc is at a crossroads & how today's election will determine the path we travel down:

Will Communities First candidates Jeremy Wong & Terry Wong push back against their party leader's new position on Green Line? Or will voters in Wards 4 & 7 be left waiting for a train that will never arrive because the party leader calls the shots?

Last night, Sonya Sharp said she doesn't support either proposed #greenlineyyc downtown alignment & instead wants a SE LRT to nowhere that even the UCP has rejected. Calgarians deserve to know if this is now the official Communties First party position.

There has yet to be a defining ballot box issue take hold this election. Where are the big ideas to move our city forward? This election can, and should, be about so much more. Calgary is at a crossroads. Onward or backward. #yycvote - the choice is yours.

Is building #greenlineyyc an important #yycvote topic for you? Do you care whether the next stage of construction helps expand the line into north #yyc or doubles down on the southeast? Do you have strong opinions on how the train gets through downtown? Here's what the mayoral candidates said:

Still undecided on your #yycvote for mayor? Want something to talk about at the Thanksgiving table? We're happy to report strong support from candidates on the #greenlineyyc vision & increasing funding to transit in Budget 2026. There's differing opinions on downtown & Stage 2:
All six leading candidates for mayor support the visions that Calgary should build Green Line as a light rail train line from Keystone in the north to Swton km the southeast via downtown. Jeff Davison, Sarah Elder, Jeromy Farkas and Sonya Sharp support either an elevated or tunneled downtown alignment, depending on cost. Jyoti Gondek and Brian Thiessen support a tunnel only. Sarah Elder, Jeromy Farkas and Brian Thiessen believe the next stage of Green Line should be built from 7th Ave downtown to communities north of the Bow River. Jyoti Gondek and Jeff Davison support building 7th Ave to Eau Claire. Sonya Sharp supports building from Shepard Station to communities in the south east. All six mayoral candiates commit to voting yes in support of a $14 million funding increase to Calgary Transit in budget 2026.

Calgary's next #yyccc election is Oct 20. A key ballot box question will be whether we continue to move forward on transit, housing & 5A infrastructure or if we're dragged back in time. It's why we're sharing MoreNeighbours' #yycvote call to action:

Why does voter turn-out matter?

Because in all likelihood, when everything is said and done, Calgary’s next mayor will have received the vote of roughly 1 out of every ten eligible voters.

Think about that for a minute.

If you stopped counting right this second and named winners in #yycvote, you’d have 8 independent councillors, 3 Communities First, and 3 Calgary Party. And an independent mayor.

So we did political parties because…?

Calgarians head to the poll to elect their next Council in under one year. Among the candidates vying for Calgary's Next Mayor is a familiar name in Calgary politics: Jeff Davison .

Why would Terry Wong be telling people that he’s not part of a political party?
Because the voters in Ward 7 know that political parties don’t belong in City Hall.

And it makes it a slower process to vote too. Took hubs about 45 mins in #yycvote. Have heard that people have been leaving the line in parts of the province. Please stay and vote if able! I usually advanced vote, but it was tough figuring out who to choose. Will likely be a voting booth decision!

Every candidate running in Calgary’s municipal election needs to watch this video and state in their platform what they intend to do to fix bike share in Calgary.
