Edmonton municipal election, 1964

The 1964 Edmonton municipal election was held October 14, 1964 to elect a mayor and twelve aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and seven trustees to sit on each of the public and separate school boards.

This was the first election since 1898 in which all officials were elected in the same year, and marked the introduction of a system whereby elections would be held only every two years. It was also the election that established the first thirteen member council; previous councils had included only ten aldermen.

The forty-six candidates for alderman were the most in Edmonton's history.

Voter turnout

There were 94880 ballots cast out of 199259 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 47.6%.
