Elections Alberta says it has issued 568 cease-and-desist letters to individuals who accessed a public, searchable database tied to the Centurion Project. According to the agency, the database exposed personal information belonging to millions of voters, including—one outlet reports—about 2.9 million Albertans. CBC reports that more than 500 people received the letters, while the Edmonton Journal specifies the total number as 568. The letters are intended to stop further use or sharing of the leaked voter information. Both accounts describe the incident as involving a publicly accessible resource that was later identified as having revealed sensitive data. The reporting focuses on the number of letters issued and the scope of the information exposed, rather than any criminal charges or investigations. Elections Alberta’s actions indicate a response to unauthorized or inappropriate access to the database, with the cease-and-desist notices sent to those identified as having viewed the information. The details of how recipients were identified and what enforcement steps, if any, follow the notices were not included in the provided summaries.
