Muslim Voters Exceeded Margin of Victory in 86% of Swing Races in Alberta Election

A further four electoral divisions where Muslims were within around 500 votes of the margin of victory include the remaining two divisions won by 5% or less.

Umair Ashraf, Executive Director of TCMV, explained “The Alberta election swung around Calgary, where results show Muslim voters have the numbers to make the difference. We are loudest when we vote, and this election shows when we make our voices heard we can determine who wins and loses. Issues important to Muslim Albertans such as affordability are crucial because our votes are crucial.”
