Between January 2 and September 22, 2025, Edmontonians can submit nomination packages to become official candidates and ensure their name appears on the ballot in the 2025 Edmonton Election.
Edmontonians must be registered to vote. Confirm your voter information by August 15th to avoid the possibility of an extra form on Election Day.
Chances are that you’re probably already registered. But your information may not be up to date.
You will need an Alberta Driver's License or an Alberta Identification Card for each individual you wish to register or update.
If you do not want to update your voter registration information online, you can:
An Alberta driver's licence or identification card is required to register on Voterlink.
Edmontonians can also register in person at any voting opportunity using other acceptable identification.
A full list of acceptable identification will be released shortly.
The register will collect your first name, middle initial (if applicable), last name, date of birth, physical address, mailing address (if different) and your eligibility to vote in either the Edmonton Public School Division or Edmonton Catholic School Division.
Yes! You are not required to register in advance. You will still be able to add your name to the register in person at any Advance Vote or Election Day voting station.
However, registering in advance can help speed up the voting process on Election Day.
Provincial legislation requires anyone voting in municipal or school board elections to be added to the municipal permanent electors register. This information will be provided to Elections Alberta and used to update the provincial register of electors after the 2025 Edmonton Election.
To remove your name from the provincial register, you can call Elections Alberta at 780-427-7191. You must provide your full name, date of birth and complete physical address.
It may take up to 15 days to register or update your information via Voterlink. We recommend that you update your information before August 15, 2025, to ensure your information is included in the municipal register.
If your current information isn’t part of the municipal register, you must complete an additional form at your Election Day voting station or any Advance Vote opportunity.
