EDMONTON — Albertans will go to the ballot box to answer two referendum questions this fall during municipal elections. The lieutenant-governor of Alberta officially ordered the referendums on Monday after two order-in-councils were approved. The referendum questions that Albertans will see on their ballot will be: The questions will be answered by either a “yes” or “no” vote. According to the order-in-council approving the referendum on daylight saving time, that result will be legally binding. Some political scientists in Alberta have previously said the referendum on daylight saving time is a “waste of everyone’s time,” and the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association have said they worry the referendums will distract from municipal issues and elections.
