Over 3,000 Alberta mail-in referendum ballots flagged for errors

With the provincial referendum less than two weeks away, Elections Alberta has identified over 3,000 mail-in ballot packages with missing declaration forms, identification problems, or other errors. The agency says about a third of the roughly 652,000 mailed packages have been verified so far. Extra staff are being hired, and more than two-thirds of the needed 60,000 workers are already on board. Voters whose ballots were rejected can submit the correct information electronically before the voting deadline.
