“EDMONTON — Alberta independence advocate and co-leader of the "Let Alberta Decide" third-party advertising group, Keith Wilson, called on Elections Alberta to apply Alberta's election laws fairly ahead of the independence referendum on Tuesday, claiming that the office is compromised.

"It is expected to conduct itself with impartiality and the highest degree of integrity and treat all sides the same," said Wilson during an interview with Rebel News.

"No observer can look at the facts here and conclude that's what's happening. Elections Alberta has compromised itself. It is blatantly obvious."

“"Thomas Lukaszuk with his Forever Canada thing is almost rubbing it in now," Wilson said. "'Look at you guys are following the rules, and the Chief Electoral Officer is not requiring me to.' He said in a BBC interview this week that he's going to do everything he can to win the vote, as you noted."

"He has a campaign office in both Calgary and Edmonton. He has a campaign bus. He has a campaign slogan. He has a campaign website. He has campaign volunteers, and he's put out 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of campaign signs across the province."

"And meanwhile, Elections Alberta says, 'Oh no, he's not campaigning,' but they hunt us down for the slightest infractions. So, it's really disappointing."

Wilson said electoral offices, such as Elections Alberta, are key in a democracy because they help ensure the safety and security of the voting process, and individuals need to trust the integrity of the electoral process.

"If Albertans cannot trust the integrity of the electoral process, it's a serious threat to democracy," Wilson said.
"And I hope the Chief Electoral Officer either changes course and enforces the law evenly, or he recognizes he's not up for the job and he steps down.”
