The City of Red Deer has released unofficial election results which reflect 100 per cent of polls counted, and the completion of a recount.

According to the City of Red Deer:

-Red Deer saw an increase in voter turnout compared to the last Municipal Election.

-In the 2021 Election, 21,548 out of 71,475 eligible voters, or 30.15 per cent, cast their ballots, including 10,622 during the Advance Vote.
