Premier Danielle Smith eluded to a number of referendum questions that will be presented to voters in Alberta this fall, and now the Government of Alberta has unveiled a new website with all the details of the nine questions that will be presented.
Information is now available online for the upcoming provincewide referendum on key immigration and constitutional questions that stand for a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada. Albertans can visit AlbertaReferendum2026.ca to view the nine ballot questions and access relevant information on these important issues to inform their vote.
“Alberta has been built by people who stand up for what they believe in,” shares Premier Danielle Smith. “From farmers and ranchers to energy workers, teachers and nurses, Alberta is a place where people work toward something greater than themselves. This referendum gives Albertans a direct say in how we build on that legacy, and create a more sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.”
The 2026 referendum will be held on Oct. 19 with the Alberta government putting forward nine questions for Albertans to vote on. The questions on the ballot come out of the Alberta Next Panel’s recommendations following extensive consultations with Albertans, subject-matter experts and policy makers from across the province as part of the Alberta Next townhall process.
The referendum questions propose tangible actions that Alberta’s government could take to strengthen Alberta’s sovereignty within a united Canada. Four of the nine questions propose ways the province could work with other like-minded provinces to advance targeted constitutional changes.
The vote will be similar to provincial voting in elections, with paper ballots and voting stations. Voting will take place on October 19th. To learn more about the questions, visit www.albertareferendum2026.ca.
