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] Of the 72,912 eligible voters, only 21,726 turned in a ballot, a voter turnout of 29.8%, and an average of 5.66 councillors per ballot.
