一些投票站在公投日将延长开放时间，因为它们未能按时在上午9点（山地时间）开放。阿尔伯塔选举局周一确认，部分投票点开放迟到。
Some voting stations will remain open late on referendum day, after not opening in time for their scheduled 9 a.m. MT starts. Elections Alberta confirmed on Monday some voting locations were late to open.
例如，卡尔加里洛基岭社区 Shane Homes YMCA 投票站的一名选举官员向 CBC 新闻证实，该站于上午9点55分才开放。选举机构表示，将在周一稍后公布延长关闭时间的投票站完整名单。
For instance, an elections officer at the Shane Homes YMCA polling station in Calgary's Rocky Ridge neighbourhood confirmed to CBC News that it opened at 9:55 a.m. The election agency said it will provide a full list of stations with extended closing times, later on Monday.
史蒂夫·科里斯特卡说，他周一早上比预定时间早10分钟到达洛基岭投票站投票，但只能等待超过一个小时才等到站点开放。他说，当时已有20人在队伍中排队，还有几名选民已经离开。
Steve Koristka said he arrived 10 minutes early to vote in Rocky Ridge on Monday, only to wait more than an hour before the station opened. By the time it did, he said 20 people were in line and several voters had already left.
“你能看到人们变得沮丧，走上前去敲门、摇晃门把手，”科里斯特卡说。
“You could see people getting frustrated, and coming up and banging on the door and shaking the handles,” said Koristka.
“我选择留下来，因为这次选举对每个人来说都很重要，大家都应该出来发表自己的意见。”这是阿尔伯塔的公投日。以下是您需要了解的一切：您需要了解阿尔伯塔10月19日公投的10个问题的全部信息。在另一个投票站——埃德蒙顿威斯敏斯特学校，排队的选民告诉 CBC 新闻，该投票站在上午9点左右不久就关闭了，直到上午11点30分仍未重新开放。
“I chose to stick around because this election is important for everyone to get out there and have their say.”It’s referendum day in Alberta. Here’s what you need to know Everything you need to know about the 10 questions in Alberta's Oct. 19 referendum At another polling station, at Westminster School in Edmonton, voters in line told CBC News the polling station closed down shortly after 9 a.m.
米尔娜·杜伊龙说，她上午9点30分到达投票站投票，但直到下午12点以后才完成投票。排队的人被告知该站点需要重新布置并再次检查。她说她选择等待，因为她认为投票很重要。
It still wasn't open at 11:30 a.m. Myrna Doiron said she came at 9:30 a.m. to vote, but wasn't able to finish until after 12. Those in line were told the station had to be set up again and rechecked. She said she waited because she believes it's important.
“我一直被教育：投票就是表达你的观点。如果你真的想有发言权，就应该去投票。”省级选举机构的一位发言人确认，那些开放迟到的投票站将延长开放时间，超过原定晚上8点的关闭时间，以给选民足够时间投下选票，这将导致阿尔伯塔人获得结果的时间被推迟。
"I've been taught: you vote and state your opinion. If you really want a say, you should vote." A spokesperson for the provincial election agency confirmed stations that opened late will remain open past their scheduled 8 p.m. closure to give voters enough time to cast their ballots, which will delay Albertans receiving results.
阿尔伯塔省居民正在周一的公投中投票，决定该省是否应寻求第二次具有约束力的公投以脱离加拿大，以及其他九个关于移民和宪法的问题。
Albertans are voting in Monday's referendum on whether the province should pursue a second binding referendum to separate from Canada, and on nine other questions about immigration and the Constitution.
投票站将在阿尔伯塔省全境开放至晚上8点。阿尔伯塔选举局表示，投票站关闭时仍在排队的人将被允许投票。
Polling stations are open across Alberta until 8 p.m. Elections Alberta has said anyone in line when a station closes will be allowed to vote.
阿尔伯塔选举局工作人员将于下午5点开始计算提前投票和特殊选票。该省选举机构表示，有130万人通过邮寄和提前投票方式在公投日之前投票。
Elections Alberta workers will begin counting advanced voting and special ballots at 5 p.m. The provincial election agency has said 1.3 million people voted prior to referendum day via mail-in and advanced ballots.
阿尔伯塔选举局表示已聘请足够工作人员。周一，阿尔伯塔选举局发言人玛娅·汉拉汉表示，该机构聘用了47,000名选举工作人员，她称这是在公投前启动招聘活动后的“积极反馈”。该机构原本希望聘用60,000人。
Elections Alberta say enough staff hired On Monday, Elections Alberta spokesperson Maia Hanrahan said the organization hired 47,000 elections officers, which she called a “fantastic response” after launching a recruitment campaign ahead of the referendum. The agency had hoped to hired 60,000.
“我们对反响和我们拥有的人数感到非常满意，”汉拉汉在周一接受加拿大广播公司广播电台采访时说。
“We’re really happy with the response and with the number of people we have,” Hanrahan told CBC Radio’s on Monday.
“我们有足够的人员来运营投票站和进行计票。”阿尔伯塔选举局将首先计算第10题——关于脱离加拿大的问题，然后再计算第1至第9题。汉拉汉表示，其在线结果页面将在所有投票站确认关闭后上线。
“This is enough people for us to run the voting places and the count.”Elections Alberta will first count Question 10, on separation, before it counts questions one through nine. Its online results page will go live once all the voting stations are confirmed to be closed, Hanrahan said.
部分投票站提前投票等待时间短。周一早上，位于希顿中心的希顿唯一投票站的选民报告称等待时间短且没有排队。虽然停车场外停满了汽车，但选民进出中心速度很快。西蒙·奇斯利特表示，投票过程不到五分钟，且非常直接。
Short wait to vote early at some stations Voters at Hinton’s lone polling station, located at the Hinton Centre, reported short wait times and no lines Monday morning. The parking lot outside is full of cars, but voters were moving in and out of the centre quickly. Simon Chislett said that voting took under five minutes, and that the process was straightforward.
“不论大家投什么票，我认为每个人都应该被听到，无论发生什么，”他说。
“No matter which way everybody votes, I think everybody has to be heard, no matter what," he said.
在周一中午，莱斯布里奇一个投票站外，肯德尔·奥尔科恩表示他觉得投票过程很容易。他担心阿尔伯塔省的未来以及日益加剧的两极分化。
Outside a polling station in Lethbridge at noon, Kendall Alcorn said he found the voting process easy. He’s concerned about Alberta's future and growing polarization.
“即使是在我的家人之中，和我的成年亲戚，这也是一个我们无法讨论的话题，因为它有时会演变成拳头相向，”他说。“我不明白这种严格的分歧，因为归根结底我们都想要阿尔伯塔最好的东西。我们只是有不同的实现方式。”在卡尔加里，香农·夏特在西南温莎公园社区于上午9点20左右投了票，即使没有选民卡，作为登记选民她也几乎没有遇到麻烦。
“Even amongst my own family, with my adult relatives, this is a topic we can’t discuss because it will sometimes turn into throwing fists," he said. "I don’t understand that strict division, because in the end we all want what's best for Alberta. We just have different ways of approaching that.”In Calgary, Shannon Shirt cast a ballot in the southwest Windsor Park neighbourhood around 9:20 a.m., and even without a voter card, faced little trouble as a registered voter.
“我现在感觉很宽慰，”夏特说。“过程真的很快。”提拉·约翰斯顿在周一上午于卡尔加里第一装配教会投票。她说她在皇家山大学的教授给学生放假去投票。
"I'm feeling relieved now,” said Shirt. "It was really quick." Tearra Johnston voted at First Assembly Church in Calgary on Monday morning. She said her professor at Mount Royal University gave students the day off to vote.
“我觉得他只是想确保我们出去投票，就这样去做。但过程真的很容易，”约翰斯顿说。
“I think he just wants to make sure that we go out and vote, and just do it. But it was really easy,” said Johnston.
她补充说，今年早些时候，她的一些同学曾把这次公投当作笑话。但现在相当多的人已经改变了想法，更认真地考虑了公投问题可能带来的后果，她还说，他们计划在周一投票。
She added that earlier this year, some of her classmates thought of the referendum as a joke. But quite a few have now changed their minds to take the potential consequences of the referendum questions more seriously, she said, and planned to vote on Monday.
在卡尔加里的河弯社区，尚内·内维林去投票时带上了她的咖啡杯。她说她在投票时仔细阅读了全部10个问题，尽管她之前已经研究过这些问题。
Over in Calgary's Riverbend neighbourhood, Chané Neveling brought her mug of coffee along when she went to vote. She said she read all 10 questions carefully as she voted, even though she had researched them before.
“从开始到结束，用了10分钟。我们完全没有等待。但我想到中午或下班后，人们可能会来投票。”在卡尔加里的多佛社区，19岁的达纳拉·罗布森请了零售店的假，以确保自己有时间投票。她在网上查询了投票地点并输入了家庭地址，但被送到了错误的投票站。
“From start to finish, 10 minutes. We didn’t wait at all. But come noon or after work, I think people are going to come.”In Calgary’s Dover neighbourhood, 19-year-old Danara Robson took the day off her retail job to make sure she had time to vote. She checked online where to vote and entered her home address, but was sent to the wrong polling station.
“这不是什么大问题，只是走一段短距离。但有点不方便，”她说。
“It’s not a huge deal, just a short walk. But a little inconvenient,” she said.
她说她对结果感到紧张，希望人们能出来表达自己的立场。这是她第一次投票。
She said she was nervous about the results, hoping people would come out and make their position known. It was her first time voting.
至于结果，一些选民表示他们将在明天早上查看结果；另一些人则今晚会刷新新闻网站和阿尔伯塔选举结果页面。
As for the results, some voters say they’ll be checking for results tomorrow morning; others will be refreshing the news sites and Elections Alberta results page tonight.
“我通常会等到第二天，除非我妈妈开始给我发更新，”安德鲁·帕韦尔科说，他补充道，他在队伍开始形成前刚好到达投票站。
“Generally, I’ll just wait until the next day unless my mom starts sending me updates,” said Andrew Pawelko, who added he got to the voting station just before the lines started to build.
去年秋天，一些阿尔伯塔人在市政选举中不得不等待超过一小时才能投票。
Last fall, some Albertans had to wait more than an hour to vote in municipal elections.
