Why Alberta voters filled out forms at the polls — and how the information will be used | CBC News

Despite reports of long lineups at the polls — pushing some people to bail on voting altogether — Alberta’s minister of municipal affairs stands behind the changes.

On the Calgary Eyeopener, Dan Williams said it isn’t the province’s responsibility to ensure municipal elections go smoothly.

“If the municipalities want [the] province to step in and replace their election authority, they can propose that.”

So the UCP is going to fuck with municipal elections but not take responsibility for the problems.
