The List of Electors contains sensitive information including names, addresses, and contact details of voters. Access to this list is restricted to entities named in the Election Act. Section 20 of the Election Act permits its use for specific purposes, such as communication by registered political parties and candidates.

Yet, the investigation suggests that a third party may have misused this information. Elections Alberta confirmed there has been no breach of its databases or systems. However, violations of the Election Act can result in penalties up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to one year.

The organization is an independent, non-partisan office responsible for administering provincial elections. Its commitment to protecting voter privacy remains paramount as it navigates this investigation.

As this situation develops, Elections Alberta will continue to assess the implications for voter data security. The outcome may shape future policies regarding access to the List of Electors.
