Permanent electors register
New for the 2025 General Election
Municipalities in Alberta are now required by provincial legislation to prepare and maintain a permanent electors register of residents (electors register) who are eligible to vote. Together with acceptable identification, the electors register will be used by election officials to verify the eligibility of individuals to vote in the October 20, 2025 General Election.
The electors register must be compiled and revised by Elections Calgary primarily using information received from Elections Alberta.
