At the same point in the 2023 provincial election, 27.5 per cent of electors had voted.
Separatist leader Mitch Sylvestre questioned the mail-in ballots and said the door was open to fraud. Elections Alberta requires a copy of official ID and refused more than 5,700 special-ballot applications.
Cory Morgan, founder of Pathway to Independence, said of a loss: “I would respect the will of the voters. But that doesn't mean I'll stop.”
