Come Thursday, Alberta will have a new premier-designate. Here's what you need to know.

The other two, Jean and Smith are no strangers to the political landscape in Alberta as they were both leaders of the Wildrose Party which merged in 2017 with the Progressive Conservatives to form the UCP.The short answer is no. In order to vote during the UCP leadership race, one must pay for a party membership that would set a person back $10. However, that ship has sailed as of Aug. 12.

Harrison added one of the main questions for the party going forward is: “Is the party going to be representative going into a general election of the electorate as a whole?”With that in mind, the advice Harrison gave to those feeling wary of what’s about to happen is to mark down May 2023, when the next provincial election is slated.

Many political party votes have gone the route of a preferential ballot in order to be more transparent, according to Harrison. “Then at noon the final ballots will be processed and then the UCP will spent the afternoon tabulating the numbers… They run all the ballots through their counting machines and they count the first place choices, and they’ll release those results at 6 p.m.

“It could be all over with very quickly, it could be over at 6 p.m. or it could be over with closer to 7 or 7:30 p.m., but I’ve been told it won’t go on late into the evening.”UCP leadership race likely doing ‘serious damage’ to party’s brand: pollsterAfter the Thursday vote results are in, the winner becomes premier-designate.
