New Alberta polling conducted by Ipsos for FIPA shows a clear public expectation: voter information should be protected by privacy law, not left to political-party self-regulation.

• 48% prefer shared oversight by elections agencies and privacy commissioners.
• Only 4% support broad political access with fewer privacy rules.
