Alberta Law Firm Files Class-Action Over Alleged Breach of 2.9 Million Voters’ Data A proposed class-action lawsuit has been filed against the Alberta government over the alleged unauthorized access and disclosure of the province’s List of Electors, which contains sensitive personal data on approximately 2.9 million people. The lawsuit, launched by Cooper Regel Lawyers in Sherwood Park, was announced on June 30 and filed in the Court of King’s Bench. The suit claims that names, addresses, phone numbers, postal codes, and elector identification numbers were accessed and used by unauthorized parties, violating Alberta’s Elections Act. A subclass has been proposed for vulnerable individuals including those in domestic violence situations, elected officials, and peace officers whose exposure could pose serious risks. Steven Cooper, K.C., counsel for the plaintiff, called the alleged breach a "staggering failure" that treats sensitive data as a "political commodity" rather than a protected asset. The lawsuit names the provincial government, Alberta’s chief electoral officer, Centurion Project Ltd., the Republican Party of Alberta, David Parker, and unnamed individuals and corporations. The plaintiff, Clint Docken, is a retired lawyer. No allegations have been proven in court, and the class-action has yet to be certified.
