From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Alberta Avenue is in. Andrew Knack, the mayor, heads the council of Edmonton, which governs Alberta Avenue as one of its neighbourhoods.
Three governments, and who does what
Alberta Avenue is governed by Edmonton, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

When Alberta Avenue votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Edmonton council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Edmonton council was elected on 20 October 2025, and the next vote is on 15 October 2029. Councils are elected on the third Monday in October every four years, says the Local Authorities Election Act, so Edmonton votes next on 15 October 2029. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta was last elected on 29 May 2023, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. Elections Canada’s open records end with the 2021 election; its 2025 results are under terms that rule out commercial use.
