Alberta Voter Data Breach
Coverage from Bow Island Commentator, Sylvan Lake News, and others
A searchable database linked to the Centurion Project reportedly exposed names, home addresses, and contact information from Alberta’s official list of electors, affecting nearly 2.
9 million voters. Elections Alberta obtained an order to take the database offline, while the RCMP and Alberta’s privacy commissioner investigated how the data moved from an authorized political-party distribution into unauthorized hands. The incident has raised concerns about electoral integrity, identity theft, and the safety of domestic-violence survivors and other vulnerable people, alongside questions about privacy-law safeguards and potential civil liability.
