You can become a candidate if the following apply to you:

  • you are 18 years of age on nomination day
  • you are a Canadian citizen

Candidate information sessions

Leduc County will hold candidate information sessions in the summer/early fall of 2021. More information will be shared as it becomes available.

Electoral boundary changes

Leduc County is divided into seven electoral divisions. In fall 2019, council updated electoral boundaries to more evenly distribute the population and land area across the county. This resulted in changes to divisions one, two and three.
