Edmonton--Sherwood Park
Only 55.1 percent voter turnout in this riding in 2008.
Riding Projections
A Conservative stronghold, where the outcome most in doubt is whether Independent candidate, but small "c" conservative James Ford, will defeat actual Conservative Party incumbent Tim Uppal, after coming within 1,800 votes in 2008. In the context of stopping a Harper majority, perhaps the enemy of my enemy is my friend in which case root for the Independent. However, we will watch closely to see if there is any chance conservative vote splitting might allow a Liberal or NDP candidate to come up the middle. Watch for updates but for now, vote your preference.
