Elections Alberta Set to Begin Verifying Signatures on Separatist Referendum Petition Elections Alberta's signature verification process for the separatist referendum petition is set to begin, a closely watched event that has significant implications for the province's future.
The petition, submitted by Stay Free Alberta, has garnered over 302,000 signatures, more than enough to force the province to take action.
The petition's journey has been contentious, with a judge initially quashing it due to concerns over its alignment with provincial law and the need for First Nations consultation.
