Officials stated there has been no breach of Elections Alberta’s databases or systems. However, the situation involves a third party and may stem from a misuse of the list.

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.

Under Section 20 of the Election Act, registered parties may use this list for specific purposes only. These include communication with voters during campaigns.

Potential penalties for violations:

• Fines up to $10,000
• Imprisonment for up to one year
• Administrative penalties for contravening the Election Act

Elections Alberta emphasized that it takes this matter seriously. The office is committed to ensuring compliance with regulations surrounding voter data.

The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta may also become involved as investigations progress. No timeline has been shared regarding when more details will be available.
