Elections

2025 Municipal Election

The next Municipal Election will be held on October 20, 2025. 

Elections will be held for the five (5) Councillor positions, one from each of the five (5) electoral divisions (Wards) in the Municipality. The Chief Elected Official (otherwise known as the Reeve) is elected from amongst its members at the annual Organizational Meeting.

Elections will be conducted in accordance with the Local Authorities Election Act and other applicable municipal bylaws and policies. Prospective candidates are encourages to review the Candidate Information Package to learn more about the election process. The Candidate Information Package will be updated as additional information (including updated forms) is released from the Province of Alberta. 

Notice of Intent

Individuals who intend to run as a candidate in the 2025 Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 Election must submit a written Notice of Intent to the Returning Officer. Prospective candidates can obtain a Notice of Intent Form online or in-person by visiting the Municipal Office.

Once a Notice of Intent Form is accepted as complete by the Municipality, an individual is allowed to be a candidate, accept contributions, or incur campaign expenses according to the rules set out in the Local Authorities Election Act and the Expense Limits Regulation.

It is strongly recommended that prospective candidates thoroughly read and understand Part 5.1 of the Local Authorities Election Act, which pertains to Election Finances and Contributions Disclosures.

Importantly, submission of a Notice of Intent is separate from the filing of a nomination. To become a nominated candidate and appear on the ballot, the candidate must complete the nomination process.

Nominations

The Municipal Office will open beginning January 2, 2025 to accept nomination papers.  The nomination period runs from January 1, 2025 to September 22, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. 

The Candidate Information Package, including all necessary forms for submitting nomination papers, will be available online or at the Municipal Office Building during office hours.

Candidates can file nomination papers anytime during the nomination period with the Returning Officer during office hours. It is recommended that an appointment be made with the Returning Officer to ensure availability. 

Electoral Divisions (Wards)

The Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 is divided into 5 wards (electoral divisions). A candidate must be a resident of the ward in which they are seeking election. Further, a candidate's Nomination Paper must be signed by at least 5 persons who are electors eligible to vote in the election, are residents in the Municipality and are residents of the candidate’s ward. 

On election day, eligible voters can cast their vote in any ward election in the Municipal District of Fairview No. 136. In other words, if you're an eligible voter in the Municipality, you can vote for any candidate, in any ward election.
