The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

Calgary council was elected on 20 October 2025, and the next vote is on 15 October 2029. That date comes from the Local Authorities Election Act, which sets the third Monday in October every four years. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 29 May 2023 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025.
