I was under the impression that this was the optional list that you sign up for with the CRA when you file your taxes, is that not the case?

The data sharing between the CRA and Elections Canada is optional, but if you want to vote, you've got to be registered - whether via the CRA or otherwise.

		> but if you want to vote, you've got to be registered - whether via the CRA or otherwise Technically true, but you can register at the polling booth on the day of the election, and there's a checkbox that lets you opt out of saving your data in the database.

		Being on the electors list is optional, is something you can opt-in to (and opt-out of), and is not required in order to vote in Alberta. There are many reasons an individual may choose to not be on the list (eg. domestic abuse situations).
