Preliminary results of the vote on the possible separation of the region have been tallied in the Canadian province of Alberta. According to data released by broadcaster CBC, over 76% of referendum participants expressed support for the province remaining part of Canada.

Poll results

Approximately 23% of voters took the opposing stance. It was this portion of citizens who supported the idea of holding a binding referendum on the province's exit from the country. Thus, the majority of Alberta residents rejected the separation scenario.

Expectations from the government

Official final voting results have not yet been released. However, the Premier of Alberta is scheduled to address the region's residents in the evening to explain what the province's path forward will be.
