Inquiries and complaints

To ensure your inquiry or complaint is directed to the appropriate authority, please review the following information.

In Alberta, the Election Commissioner has the authority to investigate violations, or potential violations, of Part 5.1 Election Finances and Contributions Disclosure and Part 8 Third Party Advertising of the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA) as well as potential breaches of the Alberta Senate Election Act (ASEA). Complaints in relation to Parts 5.1 or Part 8 of the LAEA, or any complaint in relation to the ASEA, should be directed to their attention. 

The LAEA requires a local jurisdiction, a returning officer or the Registrar to refer any complaint or allegation, or any act or omission that may constitute a violation of Part 5.1 or Part 8 of the LAEA, to the Election Commissioner within a reasonable time period.
