It sounds like the results could start rolling in much sooner than 10:00:

Calgarians could learn who their new mayor is within minutes of polls closing Monday evening thanks to vote tabulator machines.
Voters will deposit their ballots into the machines as they vote, and the tabulator will generate a print-out with results. Those results will roll-in on the city’s election website shortly after polls close at 8 p.m.
The tabulators are ready for action after a successful trial run in the 2018 Olympic plebiscite, said Kate Martin, the returning officer for Elections Calgary.
Mail-in ballots are due back to the city by 4 p.m., and those are also expected to be counted by the time polls closed. Processing of those ballots began at 8 a.m. this morning.
Voting stations will only report results once everyone there has voted, and Martin stressed those in line at 8 p.m. will be able to vote. She said the city has introduced additional voting stations and staff this year to handle potential long waits caused by two crowded ballots.

So depending on when the puck actually drops tonight, maybe we'll see some numbers during the first TV timeout, or perhaps the first intermission?
