I am incensed by this taxpayer-funded UCP propaganda from beginning to end - from its dishonest title (how does imposing fees on immigrants make AB stronger?) to its slanted commentary (eg federal firearms laws are now "federal meddling" at 10 that needs to be trumped). 1/ #abpoli #ableg

The biggest challenge to overcome is complacency & unawareness. Looks like the more people are aware the more they plan to vote No. Spread the word. Get the message out. #NoToTheNine #ABpoli
People not feeling 'connected' to the 9, yet

While 49 per cent of respondents say they don't know how they will vote on the non-separation questions, 75 per cent say they will definitely cast a ballot for all nine questions, with 11 per cent suggesting they may possibly skip some questions.
Forty-four per cent of those polled said they feel either not at all familiar or not very familiar with the nine questions.
"When we look at some of these responses together, what we're seeing is that people have the intention of figuring out these questions and answering them when they go to vote, but they haven't yet done that," Young explained.

Familiarity

Besides the question on separation, the October 19 referendum will include nine other questions on various topics.
How familiar are you with the nine other questions that will be included on the ballot? Are you...

Very Familiar 22%
Somewhat Familiar 32%
Not Very Familiar 17%
