Elections
How often are General Elections held? Each office holds a General Election every four years. Rural municipalities hold an election for selected divisions every two years; however, each council member holds office for a four-year term. If a council member or reeve chooses not to complete their four-year term, the municipality will schedule a byelection to fill that position.
When is the next Municipal election? Monday, November 9, 2026 to elect councilors representing even-numbered divisions in rural municipalities. Wednesday, November 8, 2028, to elect councilors representing odd-numbered divisions and the reeve in rural municipalities.
