Advance voting takes place the week before Election Day, from Tuesday, May 23 through Saturday, May 27 between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm. While days and hours of operation may vary for some locations, every electoral division will have at least one location open for the full advance voting period.

Electors may choose to vote at any advance voting location.

Advance voting locations are commonly established in malls, community centres, libraries, work camps, universities, and other public buildings to provide electors with locations that are convenient to where they live, work, shop or travel.

Voting in advance is the preferred option for electors that cannot attend their assigned voting location on Election Day. Students, persons working away and those travelling in Alberta can vote at any location using the Vote Anywhere Service. Electors that cannot vote at an Advance or Election Day location can also vote by mail or at their local returning office.
