The upcoming byelection in the Alberta riding of Battle River—Crowfoot, scheduled for August 18, 2025, has attracted a record number of candidates, with more than 200 individuals registered to run. This includes Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who is seeking to regain a seat after his previous landslide victory in April. The large number of candidates has prompted Elections Canada to introduce an adapted ballot system, requiring voters to write in the names of their chosen candidates. The ballot is reportedly about seven feet long due to the extensive list of 210 candidates, creating logistical challenges for both election officials and voters.
