Voting choices

Although the Alberta election will be held on April 23 from  9 a.m. to 8 p.m., voters have options on what day they can make their mark.

Advanced polling stations will be held in Camrose on April 19, 20 and 21 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, 5703-48 Avenue. Use the front 48 Avenue entrance.

If you are voting on Election Day, you must vote at the polling station established for the polling subdivision in which you are ordinarily resident. For city residents, that means voting at the Camrose Community Centre  at 4516-54 Street, the Camrose Regional Exhibition, Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion rear entrance, St. Patrick School, Camrose United Church or the Moose Hall.

A person can only have one place of ordinary residence. An ordinary residence is the place where the person lives and sleeps and to which, when the person is absent from it, the person intends to return. Voters must be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and have lived in Alberta for at least six months.
