Overview....

The Register of Electors is an electronic database containing elector and address information, which is continuously updated and used to prepare Lists of Electors, when required. Originally established in 1996, it has been updated since the 2001 General Election through elector-initiated requests and use of information provided by Alberta Vital Statistics, which facilitated the deletion of deceased electors from the Register.

It was further updated through a door-to-door enumeration in the period from August 28 to September 12, 2004 under the authority of Section 13(2)(a) of the Election Act. The activity was conducted in order to provide an updated List of Electors to the registered political parties in the fourth year following the 2001 General Election, in accordance with Section 18(1)(b) of the Election Act. Lists of Electors were made available in both paper and electronic format.

Additional sources of electronic information are being evaluated for their potential to assist in updating the Register on an ongoing basis.

Mapping Activities....

Elector information was collected based on the boundaries described in the Electoral Divisions Act. The Act was amended following the independent review of the 2002/2003 Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission and the May 2003 acceptance of the revised electoral division boundaries by the Legislative Assembly.

The new electoral division boundaries described by the Act necessitated a major review and readjustment of Alberta’s electoral map. Almost all electoral division boundaries were changed from those in effect at the 2001 General Election. Following training in November 2003, Provincial Returning Officers received their new electoral division maps. They reviewed over 5,000 polling subdivisions and revised them, where necessary. The majority of polling subdivision boundaries had to be revised due to changed electoral division boundaries and growth within the province. Polling subdivision boundaries were established to best accommodate the majority of electors on Polling Day. Issues such as clarity, accessibility, distances, normal travel patterns, and polling place potential were considered.

Provincial Returning Officers were also responsible for the review, and necessary revision, of Lists of Electors generated by Elections Alberta on the new polling subdivision boundaries. This was a major challenge due to significant growth and also due to the use of mailing addresses in many rural communities. Elections Alberta will be better positioned to address these two major challenges in the future, through the staged acquisition of newly created civic addresses and collection of legal land descriptions, or other geographic descriptions, in rural areas.

The map review concluded in March 2004. At that time, revised polling subdivision maps and Lists of Electors based on the reconfigured boundaries were provided to registered political parties in accordance with Section 18(1)(c) of the Election Act.

Conduct of the Enumeration....

Register of Electors information was supplied to enumerators on pre-printed enumeration records, for use in confirming, revising, deleting, and adding elector information. In new areas and other situations where previous elector information was not contained in the Register, civic address information was pre-printed onto the enumeration records. This reduced the requirement for information collection and helped to ensure thorough coverage.

Enumerators carried a translation sheet which explained the purpose of their visit in thirteen different languages. This proved extremely useful in overcoming language barriers to collect information.

The goal in the enumeration was to make contact and obtain information from electors in 95% of the residences across the province. Results fell short of this goal. Although it was achieved in many electoral divisions, those with higher no contact rates produced an average provincial contact rate of 91%. Enumerators contacted each residence at least three times, if necessary. Electors who were not contacted were left a “We Missed You” card asking them to contact the enumerator to arrange for inclusion in the Register of Electors. A legislative change allowed electors to confirm or update existing information via telephone, within certain parameters. This was particularly beneficial in rural areas and reduced the time and costs associated with repeat visits by enumerators.

Electors who provided information were left a “Thank You” card which advised them of the purpose of the data collection, including the possibility that their information could be shared with municipal and federal electoral agencies for electoral purposes. The cards also provided the Returning Officer’s name and telephone number to give electors the opportunity to ask questions or voice concerns.

Some electors did not provide information to enumerators or to the Returning Officer during the revisions day associated with the enumeration. The “We Missed You” card left at the door clearly explained that their information would not appear in the Register nor on subsequent Lists of Electors, until the elector provided the necessary information.

This decision was sound. It was determined that all information for only one in three residences was confirmed without any revision being necessary. It can be predicted that including the names of over 246,000 electors that could not be contacted, instead of deleting them, would have resulted in the inclusion of approximately 164,000 incorrect entries in the Register and on Lists of Electors.

Challenges....

Returning Officers were collectively responsible to recruit, train and manage over 5,400 enumerators. Recruitment in some areas was particularly challenging, necessitating a great deal of creativity on the part of Returning Officers. The challenge was ably addressed using the standardized procedures and training prepared by Elections Alberta.

Ensuring the personal security of both electors and enumerators was another challenge. Each enumerator was provided with unique identification, which was designed to deter unauthorized duplication and to be easily visible to electors. Enumerators authorized a security clearance check through Alberta Justice and Attorney General in the interest of elector protection. Enumerators were provided with specific training on managing the risks while working alone in the community and were instructed to avoid potential high-risk situations.

Another challenge arose from the difficulty of contacting electors, sometimes because of busy schedules and living environments. Some housing developments, including condominiums, apartments and gated communities, have a responsibility to restrict access to residents. Although Section 29 of the Election Act authorizes enumerator access, it can be difficult to arrange for this access with facility managers on a timely basis. Elections Alberta worked with condominium and apartment associations prior to the enumeration to facilitate this access.

In addition, multi-unit residential liaison officers were hired to develop access arrangements with building managers, where necessary. Retired members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police facilitated enumerator access to meet the requirements of the legislation while respecting the concerns of residents and building managers.

One electoral division was illustrative of this difficulty. Completion of the enumeration revealed a no contact rate of 26.4%; that is, enumerators contacted a resident in only about three out of four of the known residences in that area. Elector data was obtained from Elections Canada, as authorized by Section 13(2)(b) of the Election Act, to bring the coverage for Calgary-Buffalo to an acceptable level, as presented on Table 2. This valuable partnership will be expanded in the future. Due to time constraints, data could not be integrated for the other two electoral divisions that had a no contact rate higher than 20%. Although, based on the Calgary-Buffalo experience, this would have been a worthwhile exercise to reduce the number of no contacts and achieve a more complete List of Electors on Polling Day.

The enumeration process is a very effective method to collect timely, accurate elector information. The door-to-door visits ensure that no one is overlooked. At the same time, inherent difficulties associated with a door-to-door enumeration are increasing as time goes on. It becomes more challenging with each enumeration to recruit a sufficient number of enumerators and to obtain information from electors. Many electors are reluctant to provide information in spite of the advertising that takes place and the enhanced identification carried by enumerators.

Alternative methods for elector data collection are being examined. Those methods will include electronic updates from available sources, which are currently being assessed for currency and compatibility. It may be necessary to revise expectations for coverage, since it may be difficult to replicate the 97.4% inclusion rate achieved through the door-to-door enumeration process.

Timeline....

Returning Officers received training in June 2004. Prior to that, they had contacted local constituency associations in May for names of potential enumerators. They recruited staff following their training session using other sources. Returning Officers showed a great deal of creativity in recruitment: local service agencies, social clubs, community groups, employee associations, religious organizations, and former enumeration/election/census workers were contacted. Returning Officers with a surplus of personnel provided names to their colleagues to ensure a full staff complement in all electoral divisions.

Over 5,400 enumerators visited approximately one million residences in the province between August 28 and September 12, 2004. The enumeration was not extended in any electoral divisions, due to the immediate need for updated Lists of Electors.

Electors who were missed during the enumeration had a couple of opportunities to be added to the Register of Electors. They were able to contact the enumerator responsible for their area or could contact the Returning Officer directly to be added to the Register on September 18, 2004, the revisions date. In spite of the tight timeline, every effort was made to include all interested electors in the Register to ensure their names would appear on subsequent Lists of Electors prior to the election.

Data entry of the updated elector information commenced immediately following the conclusion of the enumeration. Approximately 600 data entry operators used a secure Internet connection to update the Register of Electors from the hard-copy enumeration records over a ten-day period, from September 14 to 24, 2004. Enumerators and Returning Officers reviewed the data input to ensure that all elector information had been entered accurately and consistently.

Advertising....

Advertisements were placed in newspapers of general circulation to inform electors of the enumeration. Weekly advertisements included information on enumeration timelines and the purpose of the data collection. The advertisements included a telephone number for electors to contact with questions or concerns. Toll-free access was available during the enumeration to assist electors outside of the Edmonton calling area.

Key information was also made available on the Elections Alberta website. Returning Officers’ contact information was web-posted to provide electors with their local contact.

Points of Interest....
Approximately 640,000 electors indicated that their address and personal information held in the Register was correct and could be confirmed without any changes. In effect, only one-third of overall Register data was still correct after the four years between the previous enumeration and the 2004 Provincial General Enumeration.
124,377 electors remained at the same address but indicated that changes were needed to their personal information. Enumerators recorded changes to names, dates of birth, telephone numbers, and genders.
644,572 electors were deleted from the address at which they were recorded in the Register.
471,257 electors were added to the Register or were recorded at a new address. They included electors who had moved, turned eighteen, attained the citizenship or residency requirements, and those who had been missed during the 2000 Confirmation Process.
250,959 new residential addresses were added to the Register in the transition to an address-based Register. Addresses without electors were collected for the first time to prepare for future data collection.
The October 2004 Lists of Electors had grown by 6.7% between August 2000 and August 2004. That exceeds the overall population growth of 6.5% for that period, indicating that Register quality continues to improve.
It is essential to collect basic personal information to identify electors in order to revise the Register electronically. This information is provided by electors on an optional basis. Following the conclusion of the enumeration, 83.4% of electors had provided dates of birth and 95.6% had provided gender information. This information is used internally for administrative purposes, and does not appear on Lists of Electors. Appropriate safeguards have been established to ensure that private information is kept strictly confidential.
Telephone numbers, which are also provided on an optional basis, were provided for 85.7% of electors. This information is very useful in verification of Register information, especially where the distance between residences is significant.
It is interesting to note that the percentage of optional information provided has increased in all areas (birth dates, genders, telephone numbers) since 2000 when elector data was last confirmed through a door-to-door process. This may be due to the increased awareness and acceptance of the Permanent Register that has developed over time, in response to advertising and education efforts.
Various Register statistics, by electoral division, are displayed in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4.
