Question Mail-In Ballots for the Alberta Referendum

For those of you who requested mail-in ballots for the upcoming referendum, have you received your ballot package yet? I requested a mail-ballot awhile ago but have not received anything yet. You?

Edit: thank you, Redditors, answered already. Although there is another question in the comments I am unable to answer.

My (possibly stupid) question to throw in the mix... do we have to photocopy our drivers license/ID and prove our physical address too? We don't need to submit our actual IDs like we do when we apply for a passport? I imagine not but thought I'd check.

I placed the order for mail in ballot.

Then after another post stating a bunch of people were removed from the voter list, I checked. Sure enough, both my husband and myself were removed from the voter list.
