Alberta Referendum Official Numbers: 70.4% Turnout on Separation Question
Elections Alberta said 70.4% of eligible voters weighed in on separation, while about three-quarters chose to remain in Canada.
- On October 19, 2026, Alberta voters overwhelmingly chose to "remain in Canada" with a historic 70.4 per cent turnout for the separation question during the provincial referendum.
- Voters cast ballots on 10 complex questions during the event, which saw the highest provincewide turnout since at least 1975, according to official results from Elections Alberta.
- Immigration policies passed with between 51.7 and 58 per cent support, while four constitutional reform questions failed, with between 42.4 and 47.2 per cent voting in favour.
- Mount Royal University political scientist Lori Williams said the slim majorities provide "not a really strong mandate" for Premier Danielle Smith to challenge Ottawa, serving as a "cautionary note" for future referendums.
- The government expects to introduce immigration legislation next spring, while Elections Alberta plans to conduct reviews and data analysis following the manual counting process.
