Vote counting will stop tonight at 1 AM and then resume at 1030 AM Tuesday.
Election officials are not allowed to use tabulators any more for counting votes.

Ric McIver, Alberta's municipal affairs minister at the time,#acknowledged#the government is reverting to hand-counted ballots not because any evidence suggests it's necessary, but because there is a minority of Albertans who don't trust tabulators (which, it should be noted, are different from electronic voting machines).
"I myself don’t feel that way," McIver told reporters in October 2024. "But the fact is I don’t want one out of three Albertans walking around feeling like they can disrespect their local municipal council because they think that they weren’t legitimately elected." |
I'm Rick McIver and I make up numbers like 1/3rd, even after admitting there are no rational reasons to do this. Morons.
