AWAITING RESULTS FOR RED DEER

Cindy Jefferies to become mayor of Red Deer, plus election results from around central Alberta

Oct 20, 2025 | 11:57 AM

It’s the day after municipal elections happened across Alberta, and results continue to come in.

The Alberta government enacted a new rule for municipal elections this year that prohibits electronic vote counting.

Ballots are therefore being counted by hand, which has created delays in results coming in.

The City of Red Deer, for example, had said results would not be reported Monday evening with the first update expected Tuesday at 4 p.m.

However, other municipalities in central Alberta are reporting results (see below).
