Same with "day of voting"; radio and TV advertising is now allowed.
Okay... still, it seems like very poor taste to have the surrounding street and greenspace cluttered with PC signs... okay, there were maybe 4 liberal signs too.

I've got to be honest... I don't give a poop about this election and will probably spoil or reject my ballot today. There's just no good political option out there.

I think I will vote PC as a protest to all the people here voting against them in protest.

I am suprised people don't know where to vote. We got things in the mail with information. The newspaper had a big pullout with all the voting places in it. Still have it if anyone really needs to know.

Your never going to find one that matches all of your ideas so just pick the one that closest relates to your ideas.

I will be voting Liberal today. The WRA scare me, the NDP are not a viable alternative, and I'm not about to vote PC. Here's hoping enough people vote "Not PC" to send a strong message to the government.

It's not necessarily ideas, although I would argue that none of them come close to having an innovative and intelligent platform that combines market initiatives with environmental conservation. It's also about leadership and quality of organization. None of the party comes close to being capable of leading this province.

Fine, but spreading the vote out amoungst a bunch of parties will show each leader specifically the PC's that they are all lacking in the leadership area and idea area. That is why it is important to vote for someone.

I have to agree.. I've been pretty stumped when it comes to deciding who to vote for. I don't want to vote PC, but the alternatives don't give much option.

That's why I'm pretty sure that I'm going to reject my ballot. You just decline to vote and they mark it down as declined. It's different from spoiling your ballot.

I'll go liberal or green . . . I'll probably decide between the check-in table and the voting area.

Tough choice this time around. I think Stelmach is the man to lead this province, and particularly the right guy for Calgary. NDP is not an option because I don't think they would too much damage to our economy. The Liberals just aren't ready for power.

So I voted for the Wildrose, not because I believe in all they stand for but because I think the tories need a wake up call.

Do they actually count that and add it to statistics?
