True: True as written according to the settled evidence. How we rate.
Summary
Elections Alberta confirmed that a searchable online database exposed names, addresses, and voter identification details tied to roughly 2.9 million Albertans. The agency traced the leak to an official elector list legitimately provided to the pro-independence Republican Party of Alberta, then allegedly shared with the Centurion Project, a third-party separatist group not authorized to hold the data. A Court of King's Bench injunction ordered the database taken down on April 30, 2026, and Elections Alberta later issued hundreds of cease-and-desist letters to people who accessed it. Investigations by Elections Alberta, the RCMP, and the privacy commissioner remain ongoing.
Evidence
Elections Alberta said a separatist organization known as the Centurion Project distributed elector information through an app containing data for 2.9 million residents, traced via seeded fake names to a list given to the Republican Party of Alberta.
A judge granted Elections Alberta a temporary injunction ordering the Centurion Project to remove the database and identify users who accessed it; the RCMP opened an investigation into the distribution of private voter information.
Elections Alberta issued 568 cease-and-desist letters to people who received or accessed the leaked list, concluding the data came from an official voter list legitimately obtained by the Republican Party of Alberta.
