Residents, NDP voice concerns over Smith’s decision not to call byelection for Calgary-Elbow yyc UCP abpoli
But Calgary-Elbow, which hasn’t had a representative since fDoug Schweitzer vacated the riding at the start of September, will not see a similar race, said Smith. The next general election is scheduled for May 29, 2023, and Smith has said she doesn’t plan to call a vote before that date.
Longtime Calgary-Elbow resident Jodi Miller said she understood the initial decision not to call a byelection with a general election looming and was fine heading to nearby ridings if she needed an MLA in the meantime. But with Smith now passing over Calgary-Elbow to trigger a byelection elsewhere, she feels her riding and its residents are being ignored.Article content
While five of the six constituencies neighbouring Calgary-Elbow are held by the UCP, one is Calgary-Buffalo, represented by NDP MLA Joe Ceci. He said he’d be glad to step in as one of the voices for Calgary-Elbow residents in the meantime.
