To Vote Voting Details Students 21 GUIDE VOTING DETAILS FOR STUDENTS HOW TO VOTE PARTYPROFILES It is your right to vote and every vote counts DEAN HUFFMAN & CHASE MALEY @Deano_HW & @maleycmaley The Alberta provincial election is coming up fast and the first step is registration. According to instructions on the Elections Alberta website, every person that intends to vote must register. To register a driver’s license number or an Alberta Identification Card number can be presented online under the register to vote tab. If you are not registered to vote by the time you make it to the polls, you can present two pieces of identification. A piece of ID is needed with your name and a piece with your name and address. This can range from a Canadian military membership or identity card, a credit or debit card that has your legal name on the front and a library card. For pieces of ID with your current address, you can use a bank or credit card statement, government cheque or cheque stub, insurance policy or coverage card, vehicle ownership or registration or insurance certificate and finally your where to vote card. Advanced polling locations are also available to students leaving town early or for just eager voters. The early polling started on April 9 and will end on April 13. Polling stations can be found in all areas of the city. South side polling stations can be found in the Holiday Inn on Mayor Magrath Dr. S. and Park Place Mall. West side locations are at the University of Lethbridge and the north side location will be at the Lethbridge Multicultural Moose Association. Out of province voting can also be a concern for Albertans away during the vote. Elections Alberta suggests going to the advanced polls before traveling or applying for a special ballot. This ballot is then mailed to your primary residence. This also counts if you are physically unable to appear at the poles due to disability or injury. You can apply for a special ballot in writing, by telephone, by fax or email, in person and online. You must then have your ballot completed before 8 p.m. on April 16. 21 Voting is not only a right, but also a privilege. Every vote counts and will GUIDE shape our country for years to come.

    Alberta Politics in the time of Public Opinion Research Release Date: July 29, 2020 COVID-19: July 2020 Update Field Dates: July 14, 2020 to July 20, 2020 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL Alberta Politics in the time of COVID-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has set off a series of changes in the Canadian political landscape. In Alberta, approval of the government’s handling of the outbreak has remained positive and steady since June– though lagging behind the provincial average. Kenney’s personal favourability has dropped since June while Rachel Notley’s is on the rise; yet, the UCP continues to hold a lead in vote intention due to their strong partisan base. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from July 2020 Canada This Month survey. The online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 300 Alberta residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how those from Alberta are rating their government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that is having on more general government approval and provincial vote choice. Government Approval General government satisfaction is down, but approval of the Alberta government’s handling of the outbreak is steady since June. All-in-all, Alberta still remains 12 points behind the provincial average when it comes to their handling of the outbreak. Alberta Mood: Half (50%) say they are dissatisfied with the 4 performance of the AB government while 43% say they are satisfied Generally speaking, how satisfied are
