Alberta leaders debate 2023: Danielle Smith, Rachel Notley face off ahead of election | LIVE

United Conservative Party Leader Danielle Smith and New Democratic Party Leader Rachel Notley are set to square off in a provincial election debate on Thursday evening.

On Wednesday, newly published polling results suggested the race to become premier remains incredibly close, and the debate could play a factor in the political contest.

In a recent Global/Ipsos poll that asked for opinions from 800 Albertans who are eligible to vote, 43 per cent of respondents said Thursday’s televised leaders debate “will be an important factor in my vote decision.” Another 40 per cent disagreed with that statement, while 16 per cent said they don’t know.

The Alberta provincial election takes place on May 29.
