## Resource

Albertans are flooding the system for early mail-in ballots ahead of the October 19 separation referendum, with applications surging past 300,000—prompting Elections Alberta to extend the deadline to September 25. The ballot’s final question, asking whether Albertans want to stay in Canada or hold a binding vote to leave Confederation, is dominating public focus. Officials call the turnout unprecedented, reflecting deep civic engagement as residents rush to ensure their voices are heard before the big decision.
