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 by-election 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.
