A vast majority of Albertans have voted to remain as a province in Canada in the 2026 referendum held on Monday, Oct. 19.
The highly watched Question 10 on the referendum asked voters “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”
Option one on the question was “Alberta should remain a province in Canada”, while option two was “The Government of Alberta should commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada.”
You can view more of the referendum’s unofficial results on the Elections Alberta website. Official results will not be released until Thursday, Oct. 29.
Nine other referendum questions were also on the ballot, including everything from immigration and voting requirements to the future of the Senate and the balance of power between provincial and federal governments.
