Alberta hasn’t had a provincial election this exciting for decades, and we have the ability to cover that story like never before thanks to the online tools at our disposal. Those two things should make for a rivetting election night on the Global News websites in Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge, and on our national page Globalnews.ca.
Here’s what you can expect on April 23:
1. Live results online as soon as they are available, and the election call by the Global News decision desk as soon as it’s made.
2. Live video streams of Global Edmonton’s election night broadcast at globaltvedmonton.com and Global Calgary’s broadcast at globaltvcalgary.com and globallethbridge.com, starting when the polls close at 8 p.m. MT.
3. A live blog capturing Global reporters’ observations from the field, along with running commentary on the election results from users like you. The live blog will be on the same page as the live streaming video so you don’t miss any of the action.
4. Frequently updated stories on the outcome in Calgary, Edmonton and the rest of Alberta, and what it all means. Watch for coverage of the senate election, too.
5. Archived video of the highlights of the night, including the speeches delivered by Progressive Conservative Leader Alison Redford and Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith.
