Results tables[edit]

Hi all,

Below is what I am proposing be included in this article for each type of municipality.

Cities:

A mayoral results table like this:

Candidate	Number of votes	Percent of votes
John Smith	800	80%
Jane Doe	200	20%
	1000

A council results table like this:

Re-elected incumbents	Defeated incumbents	Retiring incumbents	Newly elected
Bob Loblaw	Aaron Aardvark	Robert Robertson	Buster Bluth
Homer Simpson	Zevon Zymurg		Gob Bluth
			Michael Bluth

For Edmonton and Calgary, also links to Calgary municipal election, 2017 and Edmonton municipal election, 2017

Towns over 10,000 population:
plus Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and Strathcona County

Mayoral results table as above; no council results

Towns under 10,000 population:
plus Municipality of Crowsnest Pass and Municipality of Jasper

An overall mayoral results table like this:

Town	Incumbent Mayor	Elected Mayor
Eastville	Barack Obama	Barack Obama
Northton	Bill Clinton	Mitt Romney
Southview	Hillary Clinton	Hillary Clinton

Improvement districts / municipal districts / special areas / summer villages / villages:

Nothing listed (not notable enough)

Inclusion population cutoff[edit]

Earl Andrew, disregarding my above comment, what population cutoff are you using for inclusion of towns and MDs? 10,000 seems appropriate. Madg2011 (talk) 20:22, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I use 5000 as a cutoff for other provincial municipal election articles (except Ontario, for which I include all municipalities). Don't see why Alberta should be any different. -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:35, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unofficial results by municipality[edit]

Here is a complete list of all unofficial results by municipality. Perhaps an official results list will be published by Alberta Municipal Affairs next week. Hwy43 (talk) 05:27, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
