Alberta Voter List Breach Probed topic image

A separatist-linked Alberta organization, the Centurion Project, allegedly obtained and used an official provincial elector list containing personal information on roughly 2.

9 million people. Elections Alberta secured court-ordered restrictions and, alongside the RCMP and Alberta’s privacy commissioner, is investigating how a list legally provided to the Republican Party of Alberta was later shared and used. The incident has raised risks for vulnerable residents and public officials while adding political pressure to Alberta’s proposed independence referendum campaign.

The main update is a reframing of the alleged breach as a Centurion Project misuse case with a more specific trace path: officials now say the list may have been seeded with fake names, helping them connect it back to material legally given to the Republican Party of Alberta. The story also sharpens the stakes around vulnerable residents and public officials while keeping the investigation and court restrictions unchanged.

  • The voter list was legally provided to the Republican Party of Alberta first.
  • The data was allegedly shared onward to the Centurion Project.
  • The Centurion Project and Republican Party of Alberta deny wrongdoing.

  • The alleged exposure may have affected several high-profile and vulnerable groups.

  • A class-action lawsuit has emerged over the elector-list breach.
  • Clint Docken is now identified as the class-action plaintiff.
  • Reports mention municipal police joining parallel investigations.
