Elections Alberta to start distributing mail-in ballots for October referendum
Edmonton - Special mail-in ballots for Alberta's upcoming referendum are set to begin distribution today. The first annual payment for the subscription, billed at $205.00 plus GST, is for a one-year term. This subscription will automatically renew at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks, offering a 10% discount off the regular price of $259.35. The offer is available to both new and qualified returning subscribers, with the option to cancel at any time.
Elections Alberta reports that individuals who have previously registered for a special ballot will soon receive their packages via mail, or they may pick them up in person. These mail-in ballots are intended for those unable to vote in person on October 19. Among the 10 questions posed to voters is one regarding Albertans' desire to remain in Canada or hold a second, binding vote on separating from Canada.
Additionally, voters will be asked five questions about the province assuming more control over immigration and four on constitutional reform.
Submissions for a mail-in ballot must be received by Elections Alberta no later than October 16.
