Edmonton municipal election, 1915

The 1915 municipal election was held December 13, 1915 to elect a mayor and five aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and four trustees to sit on each of the public and separate school boards.

There were ten aldermen on city council, but five of the positions were already filled: Hugh Calder, R N Frith, Joseph Henri Picard, James Ramsey, and Samuel Williamson were all elected to two year terms in 1914 and were still in office.

There were seven trustees on the public school board, but three of the positions were already filled: Charles Gibbs, J J McKenzie, and William Rea had been elected to two year terms in 1914. The same was true of the separate board, where A H Esch, Joseph Gariepy, and M J O'Farrell were continuing.

Voter Turnout

There were 7235 ballots cast out of 17990 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 40.2%.
