On May 7, 1912 Herman McInnes resigned from Edmonton City Council. One week later, on May 14, Charles Gowan did the same. Two by-elections were held on June 7 to replace the aldermen. Both by-elections used first-past-the-post voting.

One contest was held to replace Gowan, who had been elected to a two-year term in February.

The other contest was held to replace McInnis, who had been elected to a one-year term.

In addition, eight bylaws were put to property-owners on the same day.
