1898 Edmonton municipal election

The 1898 municipal election was held December 12, 1898. In previous elections, an entire town council had been elected at once for a one-year term. In 1898 Edmton began to use staggered aldermanic terms, such that half of the six aldermen would be elected each year to two-year terms. The mayor continued to be elected annually.

Because in the previous election all six aldermen had been elected to a one-year term, it was necessary to elect six aldermen in 1898. In order to set up the staggered terms, three were elected to one-year terms, and three to two-year terms.

In addition to the city council, five public school trustees and four private school trustees were elected.
