The 2021 Edmonton municipal election was held on October 18, 2021, to elect a mayor and 12 councillors to the Edmonton city council, nine trustees to Edmonton Public Schools, and seven trustees to the Edmonton Catholic Schools. It was held in conjunction with the 2021 Alberta municipal elections.
In conjunction with the municipal elections, residents voted in a provincially mandated Senate nominee election, a referendum on equalization and on whether to adopt permanent daylight saving time.
Incumbent mayor Don Iveson announced in November 2020 that he would not be seeking re-election.
Mayor was elected through first-past-the-post voting in at-large contest. Councillors and school board trustees were elected through first-past-the-post voting in single-member wards.
Successful candidates do not need to have majority support of the voters in their district. The successful mayoral candidate and nine of the 12 successful ward councillors were elected with less than majority of votes in their districts. Over all the 12 wards, of the more than 210,000 votes cast for councillor candidates, 99,000 voters saw their choice elected.
The total number of votes cast for mayor was 236,488.
X = incumbent. Candidates as listed have filed the necessary paperwork with the City of Edmonton.
