How Alberta Voters' Personal Data Ended Up in a Separatist App

published on 01 May 2026

An Elections Alberta emergency injunction, an RCMP investigation, and the same name at the centre of it that has been at the centre of every other Alberta separatist scandal in the last twelve months.

On the morning of April 30, 2026, Elections Alberta lawyers walked into the Court of King's Bench in Edmonton and obtained an ex parte emergency injunction against the Centurion Project Ltd., a separatist-aligned organization that had been operating an online database built around Alberta's official List of Electors. By the end of the day, the database was ordered shut down.

The list at issue contains the names, home addresses, phone numbers, voter registration numbers, ridings, and polling districts of millions of eligible Alberta voters. Personal data that is supposed to be released only to specific recipients under strict rules, with serious penalties attached. According to Elections Alberta's own statement, the maximum penalty for improperly using the list is a $100,000 fine or one year in prison.

The RCMP has opened an investigation into how the list was accessed and disseminated.

How a Provincial Voter List Ended Up in a Separatist App

The Centurion Project is run by David Parker, the same David Parker who chairs Take Back Alberta, the political action committee fined approximately $120,000 by Elections Alberta in 2025 for electoral-financing and disclosure failures. According to Elections Alberta, the voter list now at the heart of the injunction was legitimately provided in the first instance to the Republican Party of Alberta, a separatist-aligned provincial party founded in 2022. What happened to the list after it left the regulator's hands is the substance of the court proceeding and the criminal investigation.

The Centurion Project's app, according to the reporting, was built to identify, organize, and mobilize potential supporters of Alberta independence. The voter list would have made that work materially easier.

What This Means If You Are a Registered Alberta Voter

If you are a registered voter in Alberta, your name, your home address, your phone number, your voter registration number, your riding, and your polling district may have been ingested into a private database operated by an organization aligned with a political movement, without your consent and outside the legal framework that governs how that data is permitted to be used.

That is not an editorial framing. That is the substance of what Elections Alberta took to court and what the RCMP is now investigating.

Why the Pattern Around the Alberta Separatist Movement Should Concern Voters

The voter list incident is the latest entry in a thickening file. The same network that produced the $120,000 Take Back Alberta penalty has now produced a court injunction and an RCMP investigation over the misuse of regulated electoral data. The leadership of the Alberta separatist movement has, in a remarkably short period, accumulated the kind of pre-office record that no well-governed organization would accept in a candidate for senior responsibility.

Reasonable Albertans will reach different conclusions about independence as a constitutional question. The leadership question is narrower and more urgent. So is the question of whether your personal voter data was handled lawfully.
