A referendum has begun in Alberta, Canada, asking residents whether the province should remain part of Canada or begin a constitutional process leading to a vote on secession. Over 3.1 million eligible voters are participating in the process, with polling stations open until 8 PM local time. The key question on the ballot concerns Alberta’s future within the Canadian federation, potentially initiating steps toward independence. Results will determine whether the provincial government will pursue constitutional amendments to allow for a secession vote. The polling concludes at 4:00 AM Polish time on Tuesday. This referendum reflects ongoing debates about regional autonomy and dissatisfaction with federal policies within Alberta. The outcome will significantly impact the political landscape of Canada.
