A: LINE-BY-LINE PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENTS ............................................................. 114 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER The successful delivery of the 30th Provincial General Election was a result of the dedication of the staff at Elections Alberta, over 20,000 temporary election officers employed by my Office, and by our many vendors. Every person involved in this election worked to provide timely and efficient information and voting services to all participants. It was also incredibly rewarding to see the public interest and participation that occurred during this event. Full-scale preparation for the election could not commence until the 2018 Provincial Enumeration was completed in October of 2018. Staff undertook preliminary election preparations in parallel with the conduct of the provincial enumeration activities. The bulk of election preparatory work was condensed into four months. Yet, we recorded 67.5% voter participation, the highest since 1971. Contributing to this success was the increase in voting opportunities we were able to offer electors. Through the addition of an extra day of advance voting and the through the introduction of the vote anywhere option, the volume of electors choosing to vote by advance poll exceeded all estimates. The number of electors who chose to vote in advance tripled the turnout seen in 2015. Equally as encouraging was that

    AB Today – Daily Report October 15, 2020 Quotation of the day “There will be tough decisions in the short term so we can sustain services ​ into the future.” Finance Minister Travis Toews indicates cuts are coming in the 2021 budget. ​ ​ Today in AB Written by Catherine Griwkowsky On the schedule The house will reconvene Tuesday, October 20, for the fall session. In the legislature Justice Minister Kaycee Madu met with the Métis Settlements General Council in the legislature ​ ​ ​ ​ on Tuesday to discuss policing as part of the government’s ongoing review. Next spring’s budget will include cuts, finance minister teases Finance Minister Travis Toews warned “tough decisions” are ahead as he invited public ​ ​ feedback ahead of budget 2021. To reduce spending, the finance minister said he is looking at creating “efficiencies” in the public sector. “It’s clear the status quo is not sustainable, but this is also a great opportunity to reset our course, not only for the next fiscal plan, but for future generations of Albertans,” Toews told reporters. “There will be tough decisions in the short term so we can sustain services into the future.” While the UCP ran on a promise of balanced budgets, the pandemic — and ensuing oil price collapse and economic challenges — has thrown those plans for a loop. “The four-year fiscal plan we introduced with Budget 2019 was working,” Toews said. “Since that time, Alberta has been hit by a very serious triple black swan event.” The deficit is on track to hit a record high of $24.2 billion in 2020-21, with debt forecast to hit $99.6 billion by March 31, 2021.
