On October 20, trustees will be elected for the 61 public, separate and francophone school boards in Alberta.

To be able to vote you must

• be a Canadian citizen
• be 18 or older on election day

Find your school jurisdiction

Alberta has 61 public, separate and francophone school jurisdictions.

Voters who are Catholic and live within the boundaries of a separate Catholic school jurisdiction vote for the Catholic board. All others vote for the public board. Francophones can vote for trustees for the public or Catholic francophone jurisdiction for their area.

If you are unsure of your school jurisdiction, consult the Alberta Education website for maps of Alberta School Jurisdiction Boundaries.
