Sixty-four percent of decided voters tell CBC News’ voter engagement tool they voted for for a candidate because the alternative is worse.

Tens of thousands of Albertans have used the Vote Compass online tool since the 2023 election campaign began, and the opinions they've provided paint a vivid political picture of the province.

Have you decided how you're voting yet? In this battleground Calgary riding, many people have not. But it's not apathy causing the delay. It's frustration.

Accused by her opponent of breaking the law, Danielle Smith looked squarely into the camera in last week’s provincial leaders’ debate and told Albertans the ethics commissioner’s findings “confirmed that I did not direct or interfere in any COVID related cases.” 

A lot has changed when it comes to men, women and society over the last 30 years, but some of the same gender divides that we saw decades ago still show up in politics today.

Are you looking to compare the promises and proposals of Alberta's political parties? Look no further. 

Data from our voter engagement tool suggests majority of UCP supporters hold more moderate social and economic views than the party’s actual policy platform, while the NDP's policy platform is more moderate than its supporters' views.

Nearly half of respondents chose Notley, while 15% chose Smith — and many don't know who would be best.

The plan to use $330 million in provincial funds as part of a $1.2-billion project that includes a new arena for the Calgary Flames faces strong opposition from Albertans, but sentiment is more evenly split among Calgarians.

As Albertans ponder their votes in the upcoming provincial election, they don't hold a lot of hope for the future. That, at least, is according to the roughly 10,000 people who responded to Vote Compass, an online tool developed by a team of political scientists that aims to help users navigate the political landscape.
