I hope everybody got a chance to vote. I dropped off my wife's mail-in vote and voted myself today. I voted around 7:30 pm. It was busier at HQ than it was where I voted (Roger Nielsen school).

They sure called the election fast tonight! It was a quarter past 9 pm, only 15 minutes after the polls closed, that Global News called it: a PC majority. William will be thrilled.

Looks like the NDP will stay as the official opposition. And the Liberals may get party status once again. What's fascinating is that the Liberals took more of the vote than the NDP but still ended up winning fewer seats. I know why it happened, but it's still unusual. The PCs got more of the vote, I believe, at 43%, but still less than a plurality. We need to change the voting systems in this province and the country. If we had a PR (proportional representation) system, the PCs would have a minority, the Liberals would be the Opposition, and the Greens would have 6 seats. Conservatives would hate it!

I received my voting card on Friday. And my wife received her special ballot yesterday (sent via Express Post!). They allow me to drop it off at the main office. I`m going to do that tomorrow and probably vote at the same time. Normally, you can mail it but there's not enough time for it to arrive.

Incidentally, you don't need the voter information card to vote. So if anybody else didn't receive it, you can look up your voting location on the website and then just show up with government ID.

The card isn't proof of anything other than your address and that you're registered. You don't need to be registered to vote. You still at your voting location, and only your voting location or the main office.
