News release from the City of Red Deer
Voters are encouraged to plan their vote and allow a little extra time at the polls this Election Day, Monday, October 20.
Because this year’s election uses Alberta’s new Permanent Elector Registry, voting may take slightly longer than in previous years. Municipalities are required to provide updated voter information back to the province after the election. As a result, many voters will be asked to complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13) at the voting station — even if they are already registered to vote. This ensures that voter information is accurate and up to date. Once the registry information has been updated, all forms are securely shredded.
Additionally, the Permanent Elector Registry is not shared with local school boards, so anyone voting for a School Board Trustee must also complete an Elector Register Form (Form 13).
We appreciate voters’ patience as our election teams work to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot accurately and securely. Once the voting process begins, most voters complete their vote in about 10 minutes.
To help avoid lineups, voters can visit Red Deer Elections website to check real-time wait times at each voting station and choose the location with the shortest line.
Anyone who arrives at a polling station and joins a line before 8 p.m. will be able to vote.
Thank you for your understanding and for taking the time to make your voice heard in Red Deer’s 2025 Municipal and School Board Election.
Who Stands For Common Sense This Election?
We’ve spent the past few weeks on a major project – one that cuts through campaign slogans and reveals what every candidate for Mayor and Council really thinks about the issues facing Red Deer.
That work is now complete, and our Red Deer Municipal Election Survey 2025 is ready for you to explore!
Our team reached out to every candidate for every position, asking detailed questions about their priorities on things like safety, affordability, housing, taxation, and how they plan to restore trust and accountability at City Hall.
Some were happy to answer, some resisted, some refused.
But that, in itself, tells you something, and either way, we’ve published exactly the answers we received from, without edits or filters, so you can read their words for yourself and make up your own mind at this election.
Our goal was simple – give Red Deerians honest, accessible information about the candidates to help voters choose the real common-sense leadership our city desperately needs.
And, we think we’ve achieved that goal – even if we do say so ourselves!
So, what are you waiting for?
