Make Sure You’re Ready to Vote
Alberta municipalities are responsible for creating a Permanent Elector Register—a list of eligible voters used during municipal elections. To do this, they receive voter information from Elections Alberta.
By keeping your voter registration up to date with Elections Alberta, you help ensure your information is accurate when it’s shared with your local municipality. This helps make municipal elections run smoothly and ensures you’re on the list when it’s time to vote.
Visit Elections Alberta to check or update your voter registration.
