CBC
United Conservative Party candidates in two tight Calgary ridings have filed for judicial recounts.
In an emailed statement to CBC News, the UCP said the candidate for Calgary-Acadia, Tyler Shandro, and Calgary-Glenmore, Whitney Issik, have both filed for judicial recounts.
Elections Alberta confirmed a judicial hearing Friday morning, and a spokesperson added that they believe the Glenmore recount will begin Monday morning, while Acadia will take place Thursday.
Official results following the mandatory recount showed Shandro lost Calgary-Acadia by 25 votes to the NDP's Diana Batten on election night, and in Calgary-Glenmore Issik lost to the NDP's Nagwan Al-Guneid by 42 votes following the recount.
In a statement, a UCP spokesperson said the action was taken "with full respect for the electoral process."
"It enables a thorough examination, especially of the yet-to-be-reviewed advance polling ballots, to ensure intention of each eligible vote is accurately accounted for. We look forward to the process unfolding in a transparent manner, underscoring the importance of accuracy and integrity in our electoral system."
