Voting rights were provided to any male, single woman, or widowed British subject over twenty-one years of age who are assessed on the last revised assessment roll with a minimum property value of $200.
The election was held under multiple non-transferable vote where each elector was able to cast a ballot for the mayor and up to three ballots for separate councillors with a voter's designated ward.
Key issues for the election included the levying of a municipal income tax recently provided by changes to the City Charter. The Calgary Daily Herald speculated that John Emerson's loss of council seat was attributed to the public's association of his name with the income tax, when he merely read the resolution proposed by the City Clerk.
