The referendum ballot Smith announced would fall on Oct. 19, 2026, and ask Albertans five questions on immigration levels and immigrant status that are a “significant departure from the status quo,” she said.
Those questions include whether the provincial government should take more control over immigration levels and prioritize economic migration.
A second question asks if the Alberta government should introduce laws mandating that only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and those with Alberta-approved immigration statuses should be eligible for provincially funded health, education and other social services.
A third question asks whether there should be a law requiring those with non-permanent legal immigration status to be living in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for provincial social support programs.
The fourth asks if the provincial government should charge a fee or premium to immigrants with a non-permanent status living in Alberta for their and their family’s use of the health-care and education system.
The final question asks if the government should introduce legislation requiring people to provide proof of citizenship – a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card – to be eligible to vote in a provincial election.
