Alberta minister says rules for election contestants are fair
EDMONTON – Alberta’s minister for democratic renewal says the rules, deadlines and penalties for election contestants are fair, consistent and well communicated.
Christina Gray was responding after Alberta Party Leader Stephen Mandel and five of his candidates were disqualified from running for five years.
They were banned for missing the deadline to file financial details surrounding their nominations.
Gray says the rules are clear and consistent to get what she calls “big money” out of politics.
