This is a model, not a poll of Chestermere-Strathmore: 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.
Chantelle De Jonge (UCP) won Chestermere-Strathmore in the May 29, 2023 Alberta general election with 69.7% of the vote, 9,243 votes (41.9 points) ahead of Raj Jessel (NDP). 22,048 valid votes were counted; turnout was 58.9%.
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.
