EDMONTON – Online applications to vote by mail in Alberta’s fall referendum are now open.
Premier Danielle Smith is putting 10 questions on the Oct. 19 ballot, including whether the province should remain in Canada or hold a second, binding referendum on secession.
Albertans will also be asked to weigh in on questions of constitutional and immigration reform.
Applications for mail-in ballots close Oct. 9, and voters have until Oct. 16 to return the envelopes by mail, with photocopies of their identification.
Advance voting around the province runs between Oct. 13 and 17.
Elections Alberta says it has so far received about 22,000 job applications as part of an unprecedented hiring spree aimed at recruiting 60,000 workers needed to hold the vote.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 20, 2026.
