Municipal elections in Alberta were held on October 20, 2025. Voters in the Canadian province of Alberta elected mayors, reeves, councillors, aldermen, school board trustees, and all other elected officials in all of the province's municipalities (except Lloydminster), towns, villages, specialized municipalities, and municipal districts.
Background Nominations for the election opened on January 1, 2025, and closed on September 22, 2025. The government of Alberta 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 (Alberta) (MGA). The proposed changes enabled municipal political parties but only as a "pilot project" in Calgary and Edmonton. The Executive Council of Alberta also has the power to remove councillors.
New provincial legislation also outlawed the use of electronic vote tabulators, meaning all votes would have to be counted by hand, resulting in delays in vote counting.
Cities The following are the municipalities incorporated as cities in Alberta that did vote in the 2025 Alberta municipal election. All cities in Alberta voted at the same time, except for Lloydminster. Incumbents are marked by an X, and elected candidates are bolded.
