    How we build this

    Public numbers, reported the same way for every party.

    Every figure links to its source: Elections Alberta, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, published polls and news reports. The poll average is a plain mean of polls whose fieldwork ended within 30 days of the newest poll, or the last three polls if fewer. We don't weight pollsters, project seats or endorse anyone.
