Elections Alberta confirmed on Monday some voting locations were late to open. For instance, an elections officer at the Shane Homes YMCA polling station in Calgary's Rocky Ridge neighbourhood confirmed to CBC News that it opened at 9:55 a.m. The election agency said it will provide a full list of stations with extended closing times, later on Monday. Steve Koristka said he arrived 10 minutes early to vote in Rocky Ridge on Monday, only to wait more than an hour before the station opened. By the time it did, he said 20 people were in line and several voters had already left. “You could see people getting frustrated, and coming up and banging on the door and shaking the handles,” said Koristka. “I chose to stick around because this election is important for everyone to get out there and have their say.”It’s referendum day in Alberta.
