Albertans will head to the polls today to cast in-person ballots and decide whether the province will re-elect a United Conservative Party (UCP) government or flip to a Rachel Notley-led New Democrat Party (NDP) government.

UCP Leader Danielle Smith, who has been leading the party for less than a year after winning the leadership race when Jason Kenney stepped down, has been in a tight race with Notley, the province’s official opposition leader.
