Who Can Vote

NEW FOR THE 2025 MUNICIPAL ELECTION

With the proclamation of the Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment Act, 2024 (Bill 20), municipalities are required to maintain a Permanent Electors Register of residents who are eligible to vote. Any individual who wishes to vote on Election Day must first be registered. 

Elections Alberta maintains a provincial register of electors and provides VoterLink for voters to register, update information, or verify their registration. 

Access VoterLink here.
*Please note that registering through this link will add you to the Provincial Electors Registry.

Information required for the Permanent Electors Register will be shared between Elections Alberta and the Town of Smoky Lake as per the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA) section 49.  The information collected may only be used to verify the identification of an elector when compiling or revising the Permanent Electors Register.

You are eligible to vote if you meet the following criteria:

•    You are a Canadian citizen and at least 18 years of age on the day of the election

•    You have resided in Alberta for at least six consecutive months

•    You are a resident of Alberta with your primary residence located within the Town on Election Day.
