Lorne Gibson didn't know how busy his office would be when he signed on last year as Alberta's first election commissioner. "For example, if someone complains about activities that are internal to a political party, those aren't things that are covered by the legislation," he said. Election Commissioner Lorne Gibson says he expects complaints to ramp up leading to the next provincial election call. Registered political party Pro-Life Alberta was fined $750 in November for failing to submit results of its leadership contest. Starting Feb. 1, for example, candidates running in the next provincial election will be allowed to begin raising and spending campaign money.
