Long lines at polling stations around Calgary. The city says if you're in line by 8pm you'll be able to cast a ballot. However, that could delay counting - making for a late night.

McIver headquarters is slowly filling.
Ric arrived at 6:30 and walked around thanking volunteers.
He spent the last part of the afternoon door knocking in Southwood encouraging people to vote.
Amoung McIver supporters in the crowd here are Provincial Housing Minister Jonathon Denis.

He's looking for who ever becomes the new Mayor to have a more positive less confrontational relationship with the Province.

Originally I guessed we'd see a voter turnout of 41%. Two weeks ago I revised that to 47%. I'm thinking now, from what we're hearing, we could be over 50%. That's more than any election in 30 years. (City doesn't have records handy from before that because they'd have to go into the Archives!)

Nenshi's advisors say Mayors race will be decided in wards 11 and 13. It's believed he has support in Northeast and Northwest as well as centre city. But insiders say how he does in the deep southwest will be pivotal.

We're hearing that some stations almost out of mayoral ballots. More have been sent out but it lends weight to the feeling voter turnout could be very high.

There's still lots of optimism at McIver headquarters despite the lead by Higgins.

Many supporters here are upset at the amount of votes received by mayoral candidates who dropped out!
