The Alberta Party’s Leadership Election Committee said a leadership candidate had been fined, for missing the deadline to release details on his financial donor disclosure document.
Officials said party leadership rules state candidates should have posted their documents online, and sent a link to it to the committee by midnight on February 7.

Disclosure documents for the three candidates: Mandel, Kara Levis, and Rick Fraser, have been posted on the Alberta Party’s website.
Party members will vote to choose a new leader starting on February 25, results are expected to be announced on February 27.
