There's never been a longest ballot provincially in AB...So what's going on? Best guess is the ruling party is using long ballots as an excuse to enact politically self-serving election rules that have little to do with us (similar to what's happening at PROC)

Disappointing to hear about this kind of behaviour happening at polling stations. I hope the booklet of candidate names is also checked for tampering after every vote.
