The centerpiece? A split ballot asking whether Alberta should remain a province and whether the government should initiate a process for separation. Premier Danielle Smith vows to respect the outcome. Beyond sovereignty, voters will decide on immigration controls — potentially limiting access to healthcare and education for newcomers and introducing fees — and four major constitutional changes, including provincial judicial appointments and abolishing the federal Senate. The government is pushing hard for “yes” votes, aiming to reduce federal power and assert provincial autonomy. Elections Alberta is preparing for a massive turnout, hiring 60,000 workers, with the full cost still pending. This is more than a vote — it’s a defining moment for Alberta’s place in Canada.
