The non-binding vote asks residents whether Alberta should remain a Canadian province or begin the legal process that could eventually lead to a binding referendum on independence. The vote follows a campaign by separatist groups who argue that Alberta’s energy wealth is not benefiting the province sufficiently, while polls suggest that a clear majority of Albertans still favour remaining part of Canada. Official results are expected within 48 hours of voting.
