The 2013 Edmonton municipal election was held Monday, October 21, 2013 to elect a mayor and 12 councillors to the city council, seven of the nine trustees to Edmonton Public Schools, and the seven trustees to the Edmonton Catholic Schools. Two incumbent public school trustees had no challengers. From 1968 to 2013, provincial legislation has required every municipality to hold elections every three years. [1] The Legislative Assembly of Alberta passed a bill on December 5, 2012, amending the Local Authorities Election Act. [2] Starting with the 2013 elections, officials are elected for a four-year term, and municipal elections are moved to a four-year cycle. [3]
Edmonton is the capital city of the Canadian province of Alberta. Edmonton is on the North Saskatchewan River and is the centre of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, which is surrounded by Alberta's central region. The city anchors the north end of what Statistics Canada defines as the "Calgary–Edmonton Corridor".
A Councillor is a member of a local government council.
The Edmonton City Council is the governing body of the City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The 12 electoral wards are the same as that of the 2010 election; each represented by a single councillor. Of the estimated 619,138 eligible voters, only 213,585 turned in a ballot, a voter turnout of 34.5%. [4] A municipal census conducted in 2012 showed a population of 817,498, meaning approximately 75.7% of the population was eligible to vote. [5] Three incumbent councillors retired from politics, Jane Batty, Kim Krushell, and Linda Sloan, while incumbent councillors Kerry Diotte, Don Iveson and Karen Leibovici ran for the position left by incumbent Mayor Stephen Mandel, guaranteeing at least six new councillors. The six vacancies were the only new councillors, as the remaining seven incumbents were re-elected. While the mayoral election was billed as a three-way race between the incumbent councillors, on election night Iveson won by a large margin. [6] [7] [8] [9]
The incumbent is the current holder of an office. This term is usually used in reference to elections, in which races can often be defined as being between an incumbent and non-incumbent(s). For example, in the Hungarian presidential election, 2017, János Áder was the incumbent, because he had been the president in the term before the term for which the election sought to determine the president. A race without an incumbent is referred to as an open seat.
Jane Batty is a former member of Edmonton City Council, last representing Ward 6. She was first elected in the 2001 civic election. Prior to her first term on council, Batty served as both a management consultant and vice-president at Denny Andrew's Ford in Edmonton. Before finally achieving political success Batty endured several failed campaigns for election to council; in 1998 she ran in Ward 5 and in 1992 she failed to edge past Michael Phair and Tooker Gomberg in Ward 4. Batty announced on June 3, 2013, that she would retire at the end of her term, in October 2013.
Linda Sloan is a Canadian politician and municipal councillor in Edmonton, Alberta.
