Alberta referendum delayed after 106 polling stations open late
What a mess: “More than 100 polling stations failed to open on time for referendum voting Monday, which means those stations will stay open late and results will be delayed”
Luke LeBrun24“Steve Koristka said he arrived 10 minutes early to vote … only to wait more than an hour ... By the time it did, he said 20 people were in line and several voters had already left. ‘You could see people getting frustrated, and coming up and banging on the door and shaking the handles’”
derek5To be fair, they only knew about the vote happening today for 8 months. Not to impugn Elections Alberta, but everything today needed to be ironclad. This type of bullshit is just fodder for the separatist morons.

Loulund🇨🇦1Can we do this after? Every second counts right now. You can still vote if your inline before the polls close see link below for extended polling times. www.elections.ab.ca/resources/me...
CBC News had a "time until polls close" ticker count down all night, then when it hit 0, it was replaced with a "time until results expected" ticker, which showed 2 hours Buddy I'm not made of hours just tell me how many provinces there are in the morning
ℳatt37god I'm already preemptively mad at the Alberta results map on the front cover of the paper tomorrow showing mostly blue, representing vast rural swaths of land, and everyone saying "see blue is bigger that means separation won", when like 75% of Albertans are concentrated in two red dots
Matt the hill appreciator3Huh, somehow we inherited 2 new ones overnight?
calgaryrapsfan.bsky.social1What a ridiculous bait and switch. The news about polls staying open late has been out there for hours so what on earth was the CBC thinking?
