Edmonton municipal election, 1940

Edmonton municipal election, 1940

The 1940 municipal election was held November 13, 1940 to elect a mayor and seven aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council. Elections for school trustees were not held, as candidates for both the public and separate boards were acclaimed.

There were ten aldermen on city council, but three of the positions were already filled: George Campbell, Edward Brown, and Dan Knott were all elected to two year terms in 1939 and were still in office. Frederick Casselman and Douglas Grout had also been elected to two year terms in 1939, but had resigned; accordingly, Charles Gariepy and Blair Paterson were elected to one year terms.

There were seven trustees on the public school board, but four of the positions were already filled: M Downey, Bruce Smith, R L Sutherland, and Albert Ottewell had been elected to two year terms in 1939 and were still in office. The same was true of the separate board, where Romeo Bouchard, Hugh Currie, Robert Tighe, and William Wilde were continuing.

There were 14523 ballots cast out of 56225 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 25.8%.
