2025 General Election – Reminder to check if you’re registered to vote

Municipalities in Alberta are now required by provincial legislation to prepare and maintain a permanent electors register (electors register) of residents 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 Oct. 20, 2025 General Election.

The electors register must be compiled and revised by Elections Calgary primarily using information received from Elections Alberta. Elections Calgary encourages individuals to check they are registered to vote and ensure that their information is current:

Eligible voters will be able to cast their ballot even if they are not on the electors register. When eligible voters arrive at the voting station in October, they can present acceptable identification and complete a form that will add their name and information to the electors register before they cast their ballot.

The information in the electors register may only be used to verify voter eligibility, and no candidate, official agent or scrutineer shall access or use the electors register, including, without limitation, by taking a photograph or making a copy of the electors register.

More information on the 2025 General Election and the voting process can be found on the Elections Calgary website. Voters can expect to receive a Voter Guide and Voter Information Card with more detailed voting information in September 2025.

Elections Calgary is a division of the City Clerk’s Office responsible for independently and impartially administering the Returning Officer’s accountabilities in General Elections, by-elections and votes of the electors on behalf of The City of Calgary, the Calgary Board of Education and the Calgary Catholic School District.
