2026 Alberta referendum

Legendary card · No. 687

On October 19, 2026 a referendum was held in Alberta on ten separate ballot questions, one of which addressed Albertan independence from Canada. Alberta premier Danielle Smith had previously announced the referendum in February of the same year. In her address, she announced that Albertans will be asked to vote on nine questions. Five questions were non-constitutional and pertained to immigration laws and election security in Alberta. The other four were constitutional, and relate to Alberta's relationship with the Government of Canada, seeking amendments to the Constitution of Canada. On May 21, 2026, Smith announced a tenth referendum question, on whether Alberta should remain within Canada or pursue a path toward a binding referendum on separating from Canada. For the first 9 ballot questions, results have not yet been finalized, however, on the question of Albertan independence, the CBC projected a "no" result at 11:12 PM local (Mountain) Time.
