On The Electorate's poll average as of October 23, 2026, UCP would hold Airdrie-East, with 56.5% to 34.4%. That is very likely (97% of simulated elections).
Pale bar: 2023 result. Solid bar: projection. Shares of all votes cast.
Projected margin: UCP by 22.1 points (2023: UCP by 26.6). UCP win Airdrie-East if their lead province-wide is more than about −20.0 points; the poll average puts it at +2.1.
Province-wide lead in points (UCP minus NDP). The black line is where Airdrie-East changes hands, assuming every region moves together.
Airdrie-East is projected from the Calgary poll average: UCP 44.8%, NDP 45.9%.
This is a model, not a poll of Airdrie-East: pollsters do not survey individual divisions. It starts from the 2023 result here and moves it by the change in the Calgary polling average, so it does not know about candidates, incumbency or local campaigns. See the Alberta poll average for the method, or open the projection in the interactive map to test your own scenario.
Angela Pitt (UCP) won Airdrie-East in the May 29, 2023 Alberta general election with 62% of the vote, 6,518 votes (26.6 points) ahead of Dan Nelles (NDP). 24,535 valid votes were counted; turnout was 61.8%.
These are the 87 divisions used in the 2023 election. New boundaries are not yet law: an electoral boundaries commission recommended 89 divisions in March 2026, the government rejected that report in April, and a legislative committee was asked to draw a new map, aiming for 91 seats, by October 22, 2026. This map will be updated once new boundaries are adopted.
