PoliticsAlberta voters reject a path toward separation
Voters in Alberta have cast ballots in ten referendums. One question asked whether the province should pursue an independence referendum. Voters rejected that pursuit. More than three-quarters supported Alberta remaining in Canada.
The independence item was about seeking a referendum on separation, and that pursuit was rejected. The remaining-in-Canada support is the figure given as more than three-quarters. The total number of referendums on the day was ten. Alberta is the province.
Canada is the country the province was asked about leaving or remaining in. The result reported is rejection of the independence path. The result also reported is majority support, at the level stated, for remaining. The ballots were referendums.
Ten is the number of questions or referendums in the package. The separation question is the one described in detail. The answer on that question is no to pursuing an independence referendum. The stay-in-Canada share is more than three-quarters.
The report does not list the other nine questions. It does give the count of ten. It does give the outcome on separation and on remaining. The province is Alberta.
The recorded political result is a vote to stay the course inside Canada. The pursuit of an independence referendum was rejected. The support for remaining is more than three-quarters. The day included ten referendums.
