Elections Alberta is currently dealing with several challenges as the province prepares for a referendum. Voter concerns have emerged regarding a self-declaration requirement for mail-in ballots, which some individuals find alarming. Additionally, there are reports that Elections Alberta is short thousands of workers ahead of voting day, raising fears about lengthy wait times at polling stations. This staffing shortage, if not addressed, could lead to significant delays for voters trying to cast their ballots. With these ongoing issues, there is a potential for increased dissatisfaction among voters, which some analysts suggest could fuel sentiments among separatist groups who may capitalise on the perceived mismanagement of the electoral process in Alberta.
