It’s election day in Alberta with Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party fighting to win a second consecutive majority government, while Rachel Notley’s NDP is trying to regain the government it lost in 2019.
Here are the latest developments (all times are MT):
8 p.m.
Polls have closed in Alberta in an election expected to be a nail-biter finish between the United Conservative Party and the NDP.
