flag Alberta passes Bill 14, restricting party names and referendum powers to reduce voter confusion and electoral chaos.

flag Alberta has introduced Bill 14, which restricts political party names to prevent voter confusion by banning terms linked to existing parties like "conservative" or "liberal." flag The bill shifts control over citizen referendums from the chief electoral officer to the justice minister, enabling the minister to block or alter referendum questions and end court challenges. flag It also reduces powers of the province’s legal regulator and a justice-focused nonprofit. flag The legislation, aimed at preventing electoral chaos, follows a 2024 federal byelection with over 200 candidates. flag A pending court case could determine the legality of a proposed Alberta sovereignty referendum. flag The bill’s future depends on legislative approval.
