Less than a week before Albertans are set to vote in their provincial election, voter fraud allegations are being levelled against UCP Leader Jason Kenney over his party’s 2017 leadership race.
Published Wednesday, April 10, 2019 10:43PM EDT
Police investigators say they received the information from former UCP MLA Prab Gill. Now, the Office of the Alberta Election Commissioner is also looking into the allegations. In a portion of a written statement from the UCP executive, the party's executive director Janice Harrington dismissed the allegations, earlier reported by CBC News. She stressed the party was confident in the integrity of the results.
She also said the leadership contest “followed the most stringent security protocols of any leadership race conducted in Canada.” In order to be eligible to register to vote a person had to hold a valid membership on or before September 29, 2017.The registration process required that every eligible member provide photo identification with a valid address that matched the address on their membership in order to obtain a PIN. A PIN was not issued unless the member provided the required photo identification.
