May 2022: Jason Kenney gets 51.4% support in leadership review. He resigns.
October 2022: Danielle Smith wins UCP leadership on sixth round of voting with 53.8% of the ballots.
May 2023: UCP wins election with 52.6% of the popular vote.

Alberta elections, historically, tend to be blowouts. Not many close contests.
The seat margin in this year's vote is the smallest there's ever been. (11 seats separate government & official opposition, if you include Jennifer Johnson with the UCP; 10 seats if you don't.)

Anyone else planning to move? Where to? I'd like to go where we know people, so i will seriously consider moving to a place if a friend says that's where they are going. Halifax and Victoria are near the top of my list.

30 ballots
Seriously something has gone sideways somewhere even if they say everything is running normally.
What is it? Lack of scrutineers? Is collating results from all the new tabulators used at advanced polls a tricky process?
