In-Depth Review
What It Is
#abvote is a microsite focused on Alberta provincial elections, launched by the Edmonton-based local media outlet Taproot Edmonton. It is not an official election body, but a third-party data platform designed to help voters access election information more conveniently. It clearly states that it is neither endorsed by nor affiliated with Elections Alberta.
Core Features
The site mainly provides data lookup for the 2015 and 2019 provincial elections. Users can browse detailed vote-count results by three dimensions: “candidates,” “ridings,” and “parties,” or view an overall snapshot through the dashboard. In addition, the platform offers a highly valuable historical voter turnout chart, with data going back to 1979, clearly showing changes in voter participation across elections—such as the highest turnout of 81.8% in 1935 and the lowest of just 40.6% in 2008.
Pricing
The website is completely free and open to the public. As a public-interest media project, it encourages users who find it useful to join Taproot Edmonton’s membership program and support its continued production of high-quality local news and data resources through sponsorship.
Pros and Cons
Its strengths are its extremely clean interface, clearly categorized data, and transparent labeling of data sources—the unofficial results from Elections Alberta. The historical voter turnout data also makes longitudinal comparisons highly convenient. The drawbacks are equally clear: the site currently appears to have stopped updating after the 2019 election, lacks real-time information on more recent elections, focuses only on Alberta and therefore serves a very narrow audience, and does not offer a native mobile app.
Who It’s For
It is mainly intended for Alberta voters, political observers, journalists, and political science researchers, especially those who need to look up the province’s historical election results and voter turnout trends.
Access from China
The site is directly accessible from China, loads at normal speeds, and has no access restrictions.
