2021 Alberta municipal elections


2021 Alberta municipal elections


Municipal elections were held in Alberta, Canada on October 18, 2021. Chief elected officials (mayors or reeves) and councillors (or aldermen), are up for election in all cities (except Lloydminster), towns, villages, specialized municipalities, and municipal districts, as are trustees for public and separate school divisions. A provincewide vote on equalization and Daylight Saving Time was also held.

Background

New spending limits will come into force before the election. New revisions to the Local Authorities Act will now place a $30,000 donation limit on third party advertisers (such as labour unions, and special interest groups). But also exempts them from disclosing their financials until after election day. This is the first time that limits have been placed on third party groups, but critics say the limit is still too high to prevent political influence and that spending is still not capped.

Cities

The following are the municipalities incorporated as cities in Alberta that will vote in the 2021 Alberta Municipal election. All cities in Alberta vote at the same time, except for Lloydminster. Incumbents are marked by an X, and elected candidates are bolded.
