Alberta Municipal Elections

As of May 2024, as required by Alberta provincial legislation, your registration information will also be shared with municipalities for municipal elections.

Alberta municipalities are responsible for creating a Permanent Elector Register and receive the Register of Electors from Elections Alberta for this purpose. Municipalities are responsible for creating a List of Electors to be used in municipal elections.

Ensuring your voter registration information is up-to-date and accurate for provincial election events will also ensure accurate information is provided to municipalities to use when creating their Permanent Elector Registers.

Use and Protection of Information

Data from the register of electors is used to produce the list of electors for each provincial electoral division. The list of electors contains only a portion of the information stored in the Register:

• Name – first, middle, and last
• Address – residential address and mailing address (if applicable)
• Telephone number (if provided) 
• Provincial Electoral division and voting area

The list of electors is used provincially by election officers at voting locations to maintain the record of who has voted and to add new elector registrations. Access to list information is also available by law to:

• Registered political parties
• Candidates
• Members of the Legislative Assembly, and
• Electors who wish to see their information.

Elections Alberta commits to protecting the privacy of registered electors. Any information we maintain is for electoral purposes only.

The law further limits how we distribute or use your information. Any information we share is subject to physical and electronic safeguards. We trace persons who attempt to misuse such information. Any misuse of information may result in fines up to $100,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both.

Update: An Order in Council dated Sept. 17, 2026 amends the List of Electors regulation. The list of electors provided under the Act must not contain an elector’s: first name, middle name, surname, address, except the elector’s municipality of residence, postal code, telephone number or unique identifier. The amendment expires December 31, 2026.

The change impacts only Lists of Electors provided to authorized recipients between the date the regulation went into force and date the regulation expires.
