2017 Edmonton municipal election
The 2017 Edmonton municipal election was held Monday, October 16, 2017 to elect a mayor and 12 councillors to the city council, the nine trustees to Edmonton Public Schools, and the seven trustees to the Edmonton Catholic Schools. One incumbent public school trustee had no challenger so was elected by acclamation; for the other eight balloting was conducted. They were all elected to four year terms. Since 2013, provincial legislation has required every municipality to hold quadrennial elections.[1] The voter turnout was 31.5% with 194,826 ballots cast out of the 618,564 estimate eligible voters.[2]
