Waylon Yellowhorn, your beef is with your tribal council. Despite numerous phone calls by the Chief Electoral Officer to them in an attempt to get polls set up, no one bothered to call back.

I WILL NOT be voting for any of the candidates in this riding because I can't. Elections Alberta, in their infinite wisdom, will not have a polling station in my community (the Piikani Indian Reserve) or in the neighbouring Blood Reserve either. All other communities in this riding will have a polling station. I can only assume that Indians are irrelevant and therefore should be disenfranchised.
Political observers in Alberta are calling it remarkable and opposition politicians are wondering what hit them after Ed Stelmach guided his Conservative party Monday to one of its biggest majorities ever.
As Premier Ed Stelmach and Alberta Conservatives savour their sweeping election victory, some people are raising a nagging concern: why so few people bothered to vote.
Voters in Alberta stuck with tried-and-true blue, giving the Progressive Conservative party an unprecedented 11th consecutive majority government in Monday's provincial election.
