When Rocky Mountain House votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Rocky Mountain House council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Voters last chose Rocky Mountain House council on 20 October 2025 and will again on 15 October 2029. The Local Authorities Election Act sets the day: the third Monday in October every four years. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 29 May 2023. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.
