CBC News Provides Live Coverage of 2026 Alberta Referendum
CBC News is tracking live results for the 2026 Alberta referendum, which features 10 non-binding questions and requires no minimum voter turnout for validity.
Voters in Alberta are heading to the polls on October 19 and 20, 2026, to cast their ballots in a provincial referendum. CBC News is providing live coverage and results as votes are tallied across the province.
The 2026 Alberta referendum includes 10 questions. All of the questions are non-binding, meaning the government is not forced to act on the outcome regardless of how residents vote.
There is no minimum voter turnout required for the results to be considered valid.
As preliminary results come in, they should be interpreted with caution depending on the number of remaining poll counts yet to be reported. CBC News has outlined its approach to calling results during the count. The broadcaster will make a projection for Question 10 before all votes are counted if clear voting trends are identified. However, it will not make projections for any of the other nine questions.
