The Senate of the Metis Nation of Alberta has ordered a temporary decree suspending the voting privileges of people not holding a specially registered membership card.
The decree comes in the wake of rumors that some candidates were planning to use unregistered Metis Nation of Alberta cards to garner support from non-Metis during the Sept. 7 election.
"We want to make sure that only Metis will be allowed to vote and determine who will represent them," Senate co-chair Thelma Chalifoux said in a prepared statement.
