More than 50,000 Tories and about 40,000 members of the Wildrose Party have signed up to vote.
The results will determine whether the province’s two right-of-centre political parties will merge into one United Conservative Party to try to defeat Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP government.
Wildrose members will vote online, by phone, or in person at an event in Red Deer Saturday while PC members have been casting ballots electronically since Thursday.
Results for both are to be announced in the late afternoon or early evening.
