Vote tabulator operators were hired to operate and maintain vote tabulators at the Advance Polls. Poll clerks were provided election training.

Only one of the four electoral divisions held the Advance Polls in the returning offices. Each of the four electoral divisions provided a single Advance Poll location with up to four polling stations to process electors within each location. Automated vote tabulators were installed at each Advance Poll location to record votes and store ballots. Voter assist terminals were also provided in each electoral division. Forty-nine election officers were recruited, hired and trained for Advance Polls.

11 A total of 9,701 valid ballots were cast at the Advance Polls over four (4) days, representing 19.57% of all valid ballots cast in the by-elections. Number of Number of Advance Poll Valid Ballots Valid Ballots Ballots Cast Electoral Division All Polls Advance Polls Only Percentage Calgary-Elbow 12,670 1, % Calgary-Foothills 11,842 2, % Calgary-West 10,894 2, % Edmonton-Whitemud 14,163 3, % Total 49,569 9, % Automated Vote Tabulators and Voter Assist Terminals The use of automated vote tabulators for the Advance Polls provided fast and accurate voting results which were released to the public shortly after the close of polls on Polling Day. For the first time, poll by poll results were produced from the Advance Polls. In addition, Advance Poll staff could be re-allocated by the Returning Officer as election officers on Polling Day. Voter assist terminals provided a private, accessible and independent voting option, giving electors the ability to mark their ballot using a braille-coded keypad, a touch screen, pressure sensitive paddles or a sip and puff method. The introduction of automated vote tabulators and voter assist terminals at the by-elections was highly successful. The tabulators and terminals performed flawlessly throughout the four days of Advance Poll voting. The vendor provided excellent service and support to Elections Alberta and election officers throughout the by-election preparation and Advance Poll election delivery phases of the by-elections. Stakeholders, including registered political parties and media, were invited to demonstrations on the use of the tabulators and terminals prior to their implementation. Positive feedback was received on their use and deployment during the by-elections. The CNIB provided their endorsement for deployment in future provincial general elections. MOBILE POLLS By legislation, mobile polls were held on Polling Day October 27, 2014 in treatment centres and supportive living facilities with ten or more resident inpatients or electors, where consultation with facility staff determine the service to be appropriate. A deputy returning officer and a poll clerk, along with a facility representative, set up a stationary poll in a fixed location, went bed to bed, or both, depending on the situation. Nine mobile polls were held in 17 facilities across the four electoral divisions on Polling Day. A total of 798 valid ballots were cast at mobile polls. THE BY-ELECTIONS 5

12 SPECIAL BALLOT POLLS Special ballot polls were held at returning offices in each of the four electoral divisions throughout the election period, to facilitate voting for electors who were not able to vote at the Advance Poll or on Polling Day. Special ballots may be mailed out as requested by the elector or may be completed in the returning office. A total of 580 valid special ballots were cast. POLLING DAY Polling Day was held on Monday, October 27, There were 313 polling stations in 50 polling locations across the four electoral divisions. Eight hundred and fifty four election officers were recruited, hired and trained. Fifteen of these positions were site monitors that were requested by the schools rented as polling locations. All 50 polling locations opened on time at 9:00 am. On Polling Day, a total of 2,742 electors registered to vote by completing a Declaration of Elector at the time of voting. Polling Day registrations are a good measure of the quality of the List of Electors compiled for use by election officers and political participants. Based on the number of names on the list after declarations were added, only 2.06% of electors were added when compared to the Polling Day list. There were 49,676 ballots cast in the by-elections. Over 94% of those who voted in the by-elections were already registered at their current address. Voter turnout is traditionally low in by-elections and this time was no exception. An average of 37.28% of eligible electors cast their ballots during the four by-elections as follows: Electoral Division Voter Calgary-Elbow 37.16% Calgary-Foothills 36.27% Calgary-West 35.73% Edmonton-Whitemud 39.65% POST POLLING DAY The Returning Officer announced the official results on November 6, The following candidates were declared duly elected: Elected Candidate Mr. Gordon Dirks Mr. Jim Prentice Mr. Mike Ellis Mr. Stephen Mandel Electoral Division Calgary-Elbow Calgary-Foothills Calgary-West Edmonton-Whitemud All four successful candidates represented the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta party. 6 REPORT ON THE OCTOBER 27, 2014 BY-ELECTIONS
