List of Calgary municipal elections

This is a list of municipal elections held in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Elections for mayor were held annually until the 1923 election, when the election was for a two-year term. From the 1971 election, the mayoral term was three years. Elections for councillors and aldermen were held annually until the 1914 election, when the terms switched to two-year overlapping terms, with half of each council up for election each year. From the 1971 election, the aldermanic elections lined up fully with the mayoral elections, and were also for three-year terms.[1] In 1976, the number of wards expanded to 14 (current number) with one alderman representing each ward for three years. On December 14, 2010, council voted to change the title to councillor, which took effect in the October 2013 election.[2] In 2012 the Local Authorities Election Act was amended to increase the term length of the mayor and councillors to 4 years.[3][4]
