Advance polls open Tuesday, April 9, for the Provincial Election.

Elections Alberta Returning Officer for the Livingstone-Macleod Riding, Blanche Schellenberg says the polls will be open daily the rest of the week.

"For all of the advance polls, the dates are from Tuesday, April 9, to the 13th"  Schellenberg says "In High River they are at the Full Gospel Church."

She says that'll change on General Election day, which is Tuesday April 16.

"They are specific. We have tried to put more of the local residents in by schools where they actually live. On your "where to vote card" it will tell you what your polling subdivision is. What school that is in and that is where you need to vote, on election day only."

Elections Alberta says results from the advance polls won't be known until as many as 10 days after the election, which could affect some tight races.

Elections Alberta says any results likely won't be official until Friday, April 26.

Advance Polls are open around the Foothills in the following locations:

High River Full Gospel Church, 1802-9 Avenue S.E.

Highwood Returning Office, 1013 200 Southridge Drive Okotoks.

Nanton Memorial Community Centre, 2204 18 Street.
