2017 Lethbridge municipal election

The 2017 Lethbridge municipal election was held Monday, October 17, 2017 to elect a mayor and eight councillors (at-large), the seven Lethbridge School District No. 51 trustees, and five of the Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division No. 4’s nine trustees (as Ward 2). This election marks a change of title for council members, from "Alderman", to "Councillor".

From 1968 to 2013, provincial legislation has required every municipality to hold elections every three years.[1] The Legislative Assembly of Alberta passed a bill on December 5, 2012, amending the Local Authorities Election Act.[2] Starting with the 2013 elections, officials are elected for a four-year term, and municipal elections are moved to a four-year cycle.[3] Of the 78,772 eligible voters, only 21,338 turned in a ballot, a voter turnout of 27%.
