The binders were lost by two enumerators; one working in electoral division of Edmonton-Strathcona, the second working in Lesser Slave Lake.

Each binder contains enumeration records relating to a single polling subdivision within each electoral division.

Elections Alberta was notified of the loss on Oct. 14th, which notified the appropriate police detachments and to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

The Chief Electoral Officer contacted each of the individuals by mail whose names were included in the binders.

Elections Alberta has hired a retired RCMP officer to help in its investigation as it has done in the past.

An enumerator lost a binder containing the personal information of about 400 voters in a Calgary electoral division in August.

The penalties for using elector information for any purpose not authorized by the Election Act include a fine of up to $100,000 or one year of imprisonment, or both, said Elections Alberta.
