RCMP Probes Possible Misuse of Alberta Voter List in Edmonton

Community Safety Alert for Alberta Residents

Alberta RCMP have launched an investigation in Edmonton after receiving concerns that the provincial voter list, managed by Elections Alberta, may have been accessed or shared inappropriately. The concern was formally raised by an individual connected to the Alberta NDP, prompting police to review how information on the list may have been used.

The investigation is focused on whether any offences were committed in the way the voter list information was handled or distributed. RCMP are working alongside other law enforcement partners in the province to determine if there were breaches involving the dissemination or management of the data contained in the elector list.
