Three provincial by-elections were held in the Canadian province of Alberta on June 23, 2025, to fill vacancies in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
The by-elections were considered to be important regarding the government of Danielle Smith as well as Alberta separatism.
Background
On May 26, 2025, by-elections were scheduled for the ridings of Edmonton-Ellerslie, Edmonton-Strathcona, and Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills whose MLA's had resigned after taking their seats in the 2023 Alberta general election. The three elections were scheduled for the same day. The elections were scheduled just two months after the 2025 Canadian federal election which brought about an increased interest in Alberta separatism following the Liberal Party of Canada's fourth consecutive electoral victory. The elections also allowed the new Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi an opportunity to take a seat in the Legislative Assembly, after his decision to not stand for election in the previous December 2024 by-election in Lethbridge-West. Nenshi opted to run in Edmonton-Strathcona, the riding of his predecessor Rachel Notley.
In May 2025, the Independence Party of Alberta and the Republican Party of Alberta signed a memorandum of understanding, which sought to advance and unify the independence movement in Alberta. The parties worked together to select candidates who ran under the Republican banner in the 2025 Alberta provincial by-elections. + Seats for election Seat Previous MLA Previous party Vacant since Edmonton-Strathcona Rachel Notley Edmonton-Ellerslie Rod Loyola Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills Nathan Cooper
