Notes about the data

Prior to May 11, the candidates' full names and party affiliations came from Elections Alberta's list of party-endorsed nominations. Independent candidates' names came from Elections Alberta's list of registered candidates required to file financial disclosures.

After nominations closed at 2 p.m. on May 11, the data source became the official list of registered candidates.

The candidates' photos and links to their online biographies come from official party websites, wherever possible. (If a candidate doesn't have an obvious, specific website, the link will default to their party's general website. For independent candidates, it will default to the Elections Alberta website.)  

If you notice an error in any of the data or if you are a candidate who would like their photo or website updated, please contact CBC Calgary data journalist Robson Fletcher at: robson.fletcher@cbc.ca
