As provincial election polling stations prepare to close at 8 p.m., one in central Alberta is being delayed by nearly two hours Monday.
Due to delays, the Sunchild Admin Building in Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre will be open until 9:46 p.m.
“Election results for this electoral division will be delayed until voting has concluded at this location,” a tweet from Elections Alberta reads.

It’s unclear what kind of delays the polling station experienced.
Elections Alberta is also reminding people that if there is a line at their polling place at 8 p.m., everyone in line can still vote. However, anyone who enters a line after 8 p.m. will be asked to go home.
⏰ It's not too late to vote, voting locations are open until 8:00 pm tonight!
Please note, if there is a line at 8:00 pm the voting location will remain open until everyone in line is able to vote.
