 Elected Mayor

Don Iveson

The 2013 Edmonton municipal election was held Monday, October 21, 2013 to elect a mayor and 12 councillors to the city council, seven of the nine trustees to Edmonton Public Schools, and the seven trustees to the Edmonton Catholic Schools. Two incumbent public school trustees had no challengers. From 1968 to 2013, provincial legislation has required every municipality to hold elections every three years.[1] The Legislative Assembly of Alberta passed a bill on December 5, 2012, amending the Local Authorities Election Act.[2] Starting with the 2013 elections, officials are elected for a four-year term, and municipal elections are moved to a four-year cycle.[3]

The 12 electoral wards are the same as that of the 2010 election; each represented by a single councillor. Of the estimated 619,138 eligible voters, only 213,585 turned in a ballot, a voter turnout of 34.5%.[4] A municipal census conducted in 2012 showed a population of 817,498, meaning approximately 75.7% of the population was eligible to vote.[5] Three incumbent councillors retired from politics, Jane Batty, Kim Krushell, and Linda Sloan, while three councillors ran for the mayor's seat left by incumbent Mayor Stephen Mandel, Kerry Diotte, Don Iveson and Karen Leibovici, meaning the thirteen member council gained six new members in the election. While the election was billed as a three way race between the incumbent councillors during the campaign, on election night Iveson won by a large margin.[6][7][8][9]
