The conservative political action committee Alberta Can’t Wait has been deregistered as a third-party advertiser by Elections Alberta.

The chief electoral officer took the action in May because the organization had not filed its 2017 annual report.

But Prem Singh, the primary contact for Alberta Can’t Wait, said the group voluntarily accepted deregistration because it wasn’t conducting activities covered by provincial law.

Under provincial legislation, a third-party organization is required to register with Elections Alberta and file disclosure forms if it is raising and spending money on political advertising.

“We’re not spending any money like that,” Singh said Wednesday.

“Maybe come election time we’ll apply to be registered again.”

“I was talking to (Elections Alberta) and they said, ‘there’s no point in you guys being registered as a PAC if you’re not spending money.'”
