The 2010
Calgary municipal election was held Monday, October 18, 2010 to elect a
mayor and 14
aldermen to the
city council, the seven
trustees to the
Calgary School District (each representing 2 of 14 wards), and four of the seven trustees to the
Calgary Catholic School District (each representing 2 of 14 wards). Three
incumbent separate school trustees had no challengers. A new mayor was to be elected, as the three term incumbent
Dave Bronconnier did not seek re-election. Since 1968, provincial legislation has required
every municipality to hold triennial elections.
The
voter turnout was 53%, a significant increase from previous elections.[1][2]
