It's Election Day here in Alberta.

After 28 days of listening to campaigning, finger pointing and messaging, the final decision rests with voters.

Polls are open around Alberta from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m.

A couple of changes in the boundaries of local ridings.

High River is now in Livingstone-Macleod, while Black Diamond and Turner Valley become part of the Highwood Riding with Okotoks.

Both ridings will have new MLA's after Tuesday night as Pat Stier didn't run again in Livingstone-Macleod and Wayne Anderson was defeated in the UCP nomination race in the Fall.

Both Priddis and Millarville move as well this year as they're now in the new riding of Banff-Kananaskis.

In the 2015 Provincial Election 55.8 per cent of voters came out in Highwood, while 56.2 per cent cast a vote in Livingstone-Macleod.

In Livingstone-Macleod in 2015 the votes fell as follows:

Alberta Liberal Party - 464
NDP - 4,228
PC - 6,404
