EDMONTON—Alberta’s United Conservative Party (UCP) grassroots members will be voting on policy resolutions covering gender ideology, protection of free speech, increased parental rights, and the right to bear arms at the party’s upcoming annual general meeting (AGM) on Nov. 3–4.
The UCP members help craft and vote on party policy, vote on who represents them on the party board of directors and at the constituency level, and vote in party nominations to select a candidate in provincial elections. The party leader isn’t obligated to accept or adopt the policy proposals put forward at the AGM, but they provide a blueprint of what the party grassroots considers important and the direction in which they want to see the party head.
