When Ermineskin 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 | – |
There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 29 May 2023 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. 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.
