An Enumeration of eligible electors is conducted with the civic census in April of an election year for the fall Municipal Election. In 1995, the provincial and federal governments entered into an agreement to share electors lists and produce a permanent voters list. At this time the City of Calgary is not part of this agreement. The initial lists used by these levels of government had fewer persons enumerated than The City did in 1995. This is because our enumeration is conducted as part of the civic census and more effort is expended to collect all names. Also, governments participating in these lists must establish procedures to maintain the list of names as current as possible which would probably cost more than an enumeration done with the census.
You can vote, even if you were not enumerated.
