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.
Beginning in 1980, two aldermen were elected from each of six wards.
Mayor was elected through First past the post.
School board positions also were filled through Plurality block voting as well.
