1964 Edmonton Municipal Election
The 1964 Edmonton municipal election was held October 14, 1964 to elect a mayor and twelve aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and seven trustees to sit on each of the public and separate school boards. This was the first election since 1898 in which all officials were elected in the same year, and marked the introduction of a system whereby elections would be held only every two years. It was also the first election that elected twelve aldermen; previous councils had had only ten aldermen. The forty-six candidates for alderman were among the most in Edmonton's history. The election for aldermen was conducted, like that for mayor, at-large city-wide. Thus the ballot for each voter held the names of the 46 candidates for aldermen. (This record for overall number of candidates was surpassed in the 2021 Edmonton municipal election. In 2021, the candidates were divided into twelve districts, and no ballot held more than 12 aldermanic candidates.) Voter turnout There were 94,88 ...

All seats were up for election, with polling stations open between 08:00 and 21:00. The result was a landslide for the Labour Party, who won twenty of the boroughs.

Following the elections, each council elected all of its aldermen, half of which served until 1968 and half until 1971. This did not affect political control in any boroug ...
