The next election could happen on, before or even AFTER May 31, 2019. Fixed election dates are not binding given the abuses of the past.
Stephen Mandel has said he will seek the AB Party nomination in Edmonton-McClung, whether he wins the leadership or not.
“Mandel says even if he loses the leadership race, he will run for the Alberta Party in the 2019 election in his home riding of Edmonton-McClung, which is currently held by NDP backbencher Lorne Dach.”
http://www.metronews.ca/news/edmonton/2018/01/10/former-edmonton-mayor-and-pc-cabinet-minister-runs-for-alberta-party-leadership.html
Sharon Smith will be seeking the UCP nomination in Leduc/Beaumont. She ran in this riding as a Wildrose Candidate last provincial election, finishing second to the NDP candidate
I will running as a independent in edmonton ellerslie
Calgary – Peigan
Spelling correction of (Piegan). Assuming that the word Peigan came from the Peigan Nation which is now known as the Piikani Nation of the Blackfoot confederacy. This would be one of those I before E except after C, or, or, or, or exceptions.
Correction for Edmonton Northwest. The UCP Candidate is Ali Eltayeb (his last name is spelled incorrectly on your post.) Here is his Facebook link https://www.facebook.com/alieltayebYeg/?hc_ref=ARR8zbKMCXP3RnRSdE4cMPTWyjvLcEnDCM5tkOLScrDg5Oe9kCqbiFN9UYAkMT2n1pc&fref=nf .
Hi there. Here is the link to Kate Potter’s fb page (Grande Prairie-Wapiti). Thanks for doing this! facebook.com/katepotter.ucp
HAHAHA Cheryl Durkee for Calgary Bow UCP! She even says in this facebook video that she will be the next MLA for Bow, while trying to crash Drever’s press conference over two years ago. https://www.facebook.com/wagonswest/videos/795008017297655/
Demetrios Nicolaides wins UCP nomination in Calgary Bow
David Dorward is recycling himself as a UCP nominee after being defeated in 2015 by Marlin Schmidt, now a Minister in the Notley government. I hope someone else runs against Dorward as he cannot win with his record.
Well, Dorward got nominated so Alex got that wrong. Remember he had pink hair! What a goon. Marlin Schmidt will be tough to beat and Dorward did such a crap job with Premier Build-my-Penthouse 2011-2015 that Marlin is a shoe-in!
Not to nitpick at all but the error is too gross to let pass. Marlin Schmidt is a “shoo-in”. Dorward might not be a great candidate but when Notley was elected she had about 6 bonafide cabinet ministers so maybe the tide will raise all boats and the Kenney effect will resonate even though individual nomination candidates aren’t that great.
New addition for Calgary- Shaw is LEISHMAN, BRAD under UCP
Dave,

You have done a great job in compiling this data.

When do nominations close for the Vermilion/Lloydminister riding
I don’t believe a date has been announced yet.
Thanks for your work on the site. It is valuable to a lot of folks.
Can anyone explain why the conservatives were wiped out in 2015? Was it a sudden shift in ideology or corruption?
I don’t think it was the ideology, mostly greed, arrogance and the history of corruption. They had no plan and no trust.
Redford was a leftist PCA who would have been more at home with the LIberals. Prentice was more centrist but the well had been poisoned by Redford AND with the Wildrose floor crossers. Then Jim made his look in the mirror retort and called an election a year ahead of schedule trying to take advantage of Wildrose disorganization which resulted in the 3 way vote split that was a benefit to at least 20 NDP that were elected when the conservative vote was evenly fractured. RIP Jim Prentice but you miscalculated.
Vote split between PCA and WRP (27% vs 24%) combined it should have been 51% conservative vote. Where the NDP candidate got more than 30% of the vote in a riding it often beat the two conservative parties. A number of voters voted NDP to teach the governing PCA a lesson. Boy did they ever teach them a lesson. That is why Jason Kenney saw the solution as a re-unified conservative party. Those not happy with some of Jason’s decisions and policies may well vote NDP. Alberta Party or Liberal but it takes roughly 40% of the vote to win a majority. The polls have shown the UCP higher than 40% since 2017 when the parties voted to merge and then elect Jason Kenney as leader.
I’ve heard that a bunch of liberals had infiltrated the PC party and were starting to put legislation forward to take away land owner ship rights etc. (See landowners Council vids on you tube). Some offending bills were #s 19, 24, 36, & 50. “Total communism” or “Soviet Union of 35 years ago”, is what went through my mind when I heard about what they were doing! Stelmach and Redford were some of the offending premiers. Finally Redford’s ‘Sky palace’ being built, hit the news & she was ousted in disgrace. The Wildrose had some inner turmoil, and Prentice (new PC premier ) told Danielle Smith (Wildrose leader) that he wanted to start doing what the wildrosers had been saying so she a a bunch of her fellow Wildrose MLAs decided to cross over to make sure Prentice ‘got it right’. My understanding is that He told everyone in his circle that there was still 2 years before an election had to be called. Then he called the election out of the blue. The constituents of the floor crossers were mad that they hadn’t been consulted and voted in new Wildrose MLAs leaving the former MLAs out of the lej. The voters thought that 10 floor crossers made the Wildrose a suspect party so voted for NDP MLAs. Then everything has gone from bad to way worse. 180,000 jobs lost Unemployment from 4.3 to 7 or 8% (Stats Can figures) alienation of the Ag community & energy sector etc etc

Just noticed you only have 86/87 ridings on the list…. you are missing Innisfail/Sylvan Lake
Calgary Varsity UCP candidate is Jason Copping, runners-up John Volponi, Michael Kim, John Huang, Leslie Doell, Grace Lane
Laila Goodridge wins UCP nomination Ft. McMurray Lac-La-Biche
Tyler Shandro wins Calgary Acadia UCP nomination
Demetrios Nicolaides wins Calgary Bow UCP nomination
I believe the revised count of UCP nominations is 55/86 with 31 to be announced. Someone mentioned that one CA was missing – Innisfail/Sylvan Lake currently held by Devin Dreeshan who won the bye-election after Don MacIntyre and Brian Jean both resigned. Goodridge had to re-win the nomination and won while Dreeshan’s status has not been announced. If he has to face a nomination contest he will sit as an MLA for the first time on Oct. 29th not knowing whether he will be able to run in the spring election. At least Goodridge knows she will be around to run in the election. She won 66% of the vote in the bye-election while Dreeshan crushed Nicole Money with 80% of the vote. It was announced that Mooney was elected to the NDP executive even though she is a pro-life Catholic.
Calgary Currie nomination date is November 5, 2018
I printed the whole list to count for myself and have a different total for UCP nominated candidates than Daveberta.ca. The list should be 58 UCP nominated with 28 nominations not yet complete. Calgary Cross nomination is November 3rd. Calgary Currie is November 5th, Morinville-St Albert is November 5&6. That would bring the UCP nominations to 61 with 25 yet to go. [5 in Calgary, 8 in Edmonton city, 3 in greater Edmonton, 2 in Lethbridge]. Innisfail-Sylvan Lake is still not on the list of constituencies.
Still missing is the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake CA, UCP nominations are now correct 60 nominated and 26 nominations yet to be held. NDP nominated is correct at 24 with 18 CA nominations yet to be held. There are 44 CAs where the NDP have not listed a nominated candidate or nomination contest.
Update:
Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland
UCP: nomination candidate: Shane Getson http://www.shanegetson.org voteshanegetson@gmail.com
Tunde Obasan won the UCP nomination for Edmonton-South today.
Who has the inside scoop to win the Vermillion-Lloyd-Wainwright, there sure are a lot of them running!
Brandon Teixeira is seeking the nomination for Edmonton-North West under the Alberta Liberal Party
UCP nomination tomorrow in Vermillion-Lloyd-Wainwright with a long list of candidates anyone have an edge

Seems odd that the NDP have only nominated 33 at this late date so unlikely to be a March drop of the writ?
Hi Dave, Calgary North’s NDP nomination meeting was moved to Feb.4. Thanks
I’d like to inform you that I’ve withdrawn my nomination for representing the NDP in Calgary Fish Creek. Due to personal circumstances I am unable to commit the time, energy and financial resources needed to run an effective campaign. I will continue to serve on the Constituency Association and I plan to be an active supporter of any future NDP candidate in this riding.
Thanks,
Gurmit Bhachu

Hi Dave, I am wondering if either Steve Drover or Jane Stroud faced any opposition in their nominations in Fort McMurray.
Hi Casey – Thanks for the note. I don’t believe they faced any opposition in their nominations.

Can we stop pretending like Notley hasn’t been nominated in Edmonton-Strathcona? The party is bringing around her. She’s the candidate whether the party has made it “official” or not.
Sorry, my last comment meant to say branding. The NDP are branding around Rachel Notley. I think it’s safe to say that she is their nominated candidate for Edmonton-Strathcona.

For Edmonton-Ellerslie, one of the UCP candidates name is misspelled. It’s Tony Bislimi and http://tonybislimi.ca/ is his website
One correction for Livingstone-Macleod. I believe it should read: Alberta Independence Party, Vern Sparkes
Hi Dave, my name is Tanya Herbert and I’ll be running for the Green Party in Edmonton-Gold Bar.
Dave, is there any way you could identify the incumbent for each riding (if applicable) on your list?
Thanks.

Are we still able to vote for a particular party in this upcoming election if that party has no representative in our riding?
Nope. You must vote for the candidates running in your riding.
