Does anyone know if there are voter statistic available for the various Alberta elections?

I've seen some federal election demographic data (estimations) and the 18 to 34 age group is generally the lowest turnout. In the last federal election only ~35% of 18 to 34 year old's in Alberta voted. I wonder if that number is representative of the recent Alberta elections as well.

If turnout is low for the young voters maybe an overhaul of the system would generate more interest. Voter turnout would probably increase if they had an online component or some sort of app.
