Alberta’s Smith rejects party accusation she’s muting pro-Canada referendum ads

Albertans can now locate polling stations for the upcoming Oct. 19 referendum through Elections Alberta's website or a forthcoming "Where to Vote" card mailed to them. The province's electoral agency has prepared over 1,400 polling stations for the vote, with an additional 310 stations set up for the advanced voting period running from Oct.

13-17. Election officials anticipate a high voter turnout for the 10-question referendum, which aims to gauge whether Albertans wish to remain part of Canada or require a second, binding vote to leave. As of now, more than 520,000 Albertans have applied to vote by mail, with the deadline for applications set for Friday.
