Don't forget to vote in today's Calgary-Lougheed byelection

Polls are now open for the Calgary-Lougheed byelection.

With United Conservative Party (UCP) MLA Dave Rodney stepping down from his post in October, the door has been opened for newly elected UCP party leader Jason Kenney to be elected into legislature.

However, leader of the Alberta Liberal Party, David Khan, and leader of the Green Party of Alberta, Romy Tittel, are both on the ballot this December 14.

Four other candidates are vying for the seat alongside the three party leaders.
