2025 Alberta municipal elections

Last updated

The 2025 Alberta municipal elections are scheduled to be held on 20 October 2025. [1]

Background

Nominations for the election will open January 1, 2025, and close on September 22, 2025. [2] The government of Alberta has tabled legislation to reform the municipal government system; the Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment Act, includes two pieces of legislation: the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA) and the Municipal Government Act (MGA). [3] The proposed changes would enable municipal political parties but only as a "pilot project" in Calgary and Edmonton. [4] The Executive Council of Alberta would also have the power to remove councillors. [5]
