Displaced from Jasper due to the wildfire?

You are still eligible to run for elected office and vote in Jasper during the 2025 municipal election.

Municipal staff will provide the form for your signature whether you intend to run for office or cast your vote at the advance vote, during election day or vote by special ballot. 

Please note that you will still be required to produce a piece of identification to receive a ballot. This is generally your drivers’ license, but it could be any piece of identification issued by a Canadian government, whether federal, provincial or local, or an agency of that government, that contains a photograph of the individual.
