Global News Edmonton has reported:

Alberta voters will decide 10 referendum questions on Monday, covering immigration policy, constitutional reform and whether the province should remain in Canada or hold a binding second referendum on leaving the country. More than 1,400 polling stations will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Advance voting locations opened Tuesday and will close Saturday night.

Officials expect a record turnout of between 80 and 85 per cent of Alberta’s nearly three million electors. Voters can review the questions on the Elections Alberta website before heading to the polls, a step officials say can reduce confusion and delays. Voters may take as much time as they need to complete the 10 ballots, though officials estimate most people will finish in about two minutes.

Registered voters should receive a “where to vote” card in the mail. People who do not receive one can use the Elections Alberta website to find their voting location. During advance voting, electors must vote in their electoral division; on Monday, they must go to their assigned location.

Voters need one government-issued identification document showing their correct name, current address and photo, such as a driver’s licence. Alternatively, they can present two pieces of identification that together meet the requirements: both must show the voter’s full name, and one must include their current address. Elections Alberta lists 50 acceptable forms that can serve as one of those two documents, including a library card, hunting licence, bank statement or vehicle registration.

Expired identification may also be accepted if it still shows the correct name. Elections Alberta says this includes an expired Certificate of Indian Status Card. In special circumstances, voters can instead bring an attestation form signed by an authorized person, such as a First Nation band manager or student housing staff member.

People who are not registered will be asked by a voting officer to sign a declaration confirming they are eligible to vote. The declaration confirms they are Canadian citizens, at least 18 years old and normally reside in Alberta.

The 10 ballots come in different colours to make them easier to identify. Voters can mark some, all or none of them, according to their choice. Each ballot goes into a separate box, which is intended to make counting easier and reduce the risk that an error could spoil a single, longer ballot.

Anyone still waiting in line when polls close at 8 p.m. should remain there and will be allowed to vote. By law, ballots must be counted by hand within 48 hours. The separation question, Question 10, will be counted first.

Officials expect early results after 8 p.m. Monday, with the final count for Question 10 announced in the early hours of Tuesday. Results for the other nine questions are expected to be completed and announced by Wednesday.
