Stephen Mandel Stephen Mandel The 2010 Edmonton municipal election was held Monday, October 18, 2010 to elect a mayor and 12 councillors to the city council, the nine trustees to Edmonton Public Schools, and the seven trustees to the Edmonton Catholic Schools.

Two incumbent public school trustees had no challengers so were elected by acclamation.

Since 1968, provincial legislation had required every municipality to hold triennial elections.

On July 22, 2009, City Council voted to change the electoral system of six wards to a system of 12 wards; each represented by a single councillor, the changes took effect for the 2010 election.

The winner in seven of the 12 city councillor contests was elected with less than a majority of the votes cast.
