Aspen Woods is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.

When Aspen Woods votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Calgary council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Elected on 20 October 2025, Calgary council is up again on 15 October 2029. It is the third Monday in October every four years, as the Local Authorities Election Act provides. The last general elections came on 29 May 2023 for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta and on 28 April 2025 for Parliament. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.
