Edmonton municipal election, 1977

The 1977 municipal election was held October 19, 1977 to elect a mayor and twelve aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council, nine trustees to sit on the public school board, and seven trustees to sit on the separate school board.

This was the first election in which a nine-member public school board was elected instead of the seven member board that had previously existed. It was also the last election to use only four wards; beginning in 1980, two aldermen were elected from each of six wards.

There were 116,525 ballots cast out of 305,342 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 38.2%.
