NPR reported that early results from the Alberta non-binding referendum released on 16 October show about 77% of voters chose to remain in Canada, while roughly 23% supported initiating a legal process toward a future independence vote. CBS News earlier reported that about 76% of Albertans rejected the separation proposal. Al Jazeera reported that polls during the vote showed strong support for staying in Canada, and NPR also noted that the majority would reject the separation plan.

The referendum, held on 16 October, asked voters whether to begin a legal pathway toward a later secession referendum. NBC News said Prime Minister Mark Carney appealed to Albertans to reject the separation vote, warning of uncertainty. Fortune reported that Premier Danielle Smith backed remaining in the federation.
