We have to do this because the UCP banned electronic vote tabulators at the behest of it’s conspiracy-addled base. It’s almost like it was designed to reduce trust in the system.

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney Warns Separatists ‘Could Actually Win’ the Referendum. The Last One Drew 39% Turnout
Polls show most Albertans want to stay in Canada. But former Alberta premier Jason Kenney says if turnout is 40 per cent or lower on Oct. 19, separatists “could actually win.” The last referendum Alberta held, under Kenney in 2021, drew about 39 per cent

What would charging temporary residents for health care and education mean for Alberta?
When Albertans vote in the province’s referendum this fall, they will be asked whether people legally living and working in Alberta without permanent resident status should pay extra to use two of the province’s most important public services.

America’s anti-immigration politics are coming to Canada — and Alberta invited them in
The separation question has consumed most of the attention around the province's October 19th referendum. The immigration-related questions also on the ballot might be just as dangerous and divisive.
