UPDATE: Unauthorized Use of List of Electors
April 30, 2026
EDMONTON, AB – Elections Alberta is taking seriously the unauthorized use of the Republican Party of Alberta’s copy of the List of Electors by the Centurion Project Ltd.
Elections Alberta is limited in commenting publicly about investigations that we may or may not be conducting. However, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has a fundamental responsibility to protect and safeguard the information contained within the List of Electors. We wish to reinforce that Elections Alberta is taking every possible action to protect and recover the information.
Further, we wish to reiterate that the Election Act legislates the contents, distribution, protection, and use of the provincial List of Electors. This is sensitive data, and there are many safeguards to ensure the List is only provided to the entities and individuals entitled under the law to receive it and is used only as expressly permitted in the Act.
Specific security features are added to each list provided to eligible recipients allowing Elections Alberta to identify who received each specific copy of the list.
Timelines and actions
We wish to update Albertans on timelines and steps that have been taken to resolve this issue.
On April 27, 2026, credible information was obtained suggesting the Centurion Project may be in possession of the List of Electors provided to a registered political party that was a legitimate recipient of the list. Inquiries into the validity of this information began immediately.
On April 28, 2026, the Chief Electoral Officer wrote to individuals associated with the Centurion Project to advise them that if they were accessing a List of Electors, they must immediately cease and desist.
On April 29, 2026, representatives from Elections Alberta, supported by members of the Edmonton Police Service, attended a meeting of the Centurion Project Ltd. being held in Edmonton, to ensure the cease and desist letter was received.
Event organizers were once again advised, and a copy of this directive was personally served to a representative of the Centurion Project, to immediately cease and desist accessing any information contained in the List of Electors.
On the morning of April 30, 2026, representatives from Elections Alberta and legal counsel attended Court of Kings Bench in Edmonton and applied for an ex parte emergent injunction to prohibit any further access to or use of the List of Electors. The Justice granted this injunction and the Centurion Project Ltd. is further prohibited from engaging in these extremely serious activities.
