The Alberta provincial election is on Tuesday, May 5 – get out and vote!

You may have noticed that our usual roundtable event would also be on May 5, we will be moving it to another day, so that all our SEA volunteers can get to the ballots, and our members don’t have to choose one or the other.

The SEA does not support a particular political party; we mostly want you to go and vote, and for you to make an informed choice based on what you value when you cast your ballot. To help with that, here are some resources.

• Elections Alberta: How to make sure you’re on the List of Electors, where to find your polling station, and information about special ballots and advanced polls.
• VoteKit: All the basics for new voters, including video tutorials in 8 languages and opportunities to practice voting before the big day.
• Vote Compass: A questionnaire to help you determine which political party is closest to your priorities.
• Albert Politics: Possibly the best Alberta political blog, with links to candidate webpages and other opinion pieces.
