Edmonton municipal election, 1926

The 1926 municipal election was held December 13, 1926 to elect a mayor and six aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and three trustees to sit on the public school board. Harry Carrigan, J O Pilon, and W D Trainor were acclaimed to two year terms on the separate school board.

There were ten aldermen on city council, but four of the positions were already filled: James East, James Findlay, Frederick Keillor, and A C Sloane were all elected to two year terms in 1925 and were still in office. James McCrie Douglas had also been elected in 1925, but had resigned; accordingly, L S C Dineen was elected to a one year term.
