It's up to voters in the Brooks-Medicine Hat electoral district to decide whether Premier Danielle Smith will secure her seat in the legislature. abpoli ableg austinleectv
Despite the high-profile nature of this byelection, there was little interest in advanced voting, with just 12.4 per cent of eligible voters sending in their ballot early.
"I thought those debates would have heightened the awareness of everybody here, but it really has seemed rather sedate as to the response so far."Gwendoline Dirk is the Alberta NDP candidate and Alberta Party leader Barry Morishita is in the race. The field is rounded out with Bob Blayone of the Independence Party and Jeevan Mangat, the interim leader of the Wildrose Independence Party.
Although Smith is the favourite to win the byelection, according to political commentators that spoke to CTV News, if the premier fails to earn a seat in the legislature, it would be a crushing blow for both her and the United Conservative Party. The Brooks-Medicine Hat byelection was called on Oct. 11 after UCP MLA Michaela Frey announced her resignation.
