Edmonton municipal election, 1980

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1980 municipal election was held October 15, 1980 to elect a mayor and twelve aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council, nine trustees to sit on the public school board, and seven trustees to sit on the separate school board.

This was the first election in which there were two aldermen elected from each of six wards, instead of three aldermen elected from each of four wards, as had previously been the case.
