Across Alberta, 33 of the 37 MPs sit with the Conservative Party of Canada. Locally, Devon is run as a town. In Alberta, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Devon’s mayor isn’t named. Devon’s riding for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta can’t be shown, because the province’s boundary file is licensed for non-commercial use only.
Three governments, and who does what
Devon, a town in Alberta, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

The census places Devon in Division No. 11, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them. The council elected on 20 October 2025 serves until 15 October 2029, when Devon council is chosen again. The Local Authorities Election Act sets the day: the third Monday in October every four years.

- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Not on this page. No party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record, and no band councils.
