When Charlesworth 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 | – |
Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 29 May 2023. The council elected on 20 October 2025 serves until 15 October 2029, when Edmonton council is chosen again. 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.

- 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. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- 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. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
