The 1926 municipal election was held December 13, 1926, to elect a mayor and six aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and three trustees to sit on the publicschool board. Harry Carrigan, J O Pilon, and W D Trainor were acclaimed to two-year terms on the separate school board. There were ten aldermen on city council, but four of the positions were already filled: James East, James Findlay, Frederick Keillor, and A C Sloane were all elected to two-year terms in 1925 and were still in office. James McCrie Douglas had also been elected in 1925, but had resigned to run for mayor; accordingly, L S C Dineen was elected to a one-year term. There were seven trustees on the public school board, but four of the positions were already filled: Ralph Bellamy, Frank Crang, F S MacPherson, and Elmer Roper had all been elected to two-year terms in 1925 and were still in office. The same was true on the separate board, where R Crossland, Charles Gariepy, Thomas Magee, and A J Ryan were continuing. The election of mayor was conducted using Alternative Voting; the election of councillors and school trustees was conducted using the single transferable vote system.
Voter turnout
There were 12720 ballots cast out of 35726 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 35.6%.
Bury did not win a majority of the votes in the first count so the lowest-ranking candidates had their second choices distributed, and he did win in the end.
Aldermen
Because of the single transferable vote system, although Tighe received more initial votes, Dineen won due to votes subsequently transferred from other candidates. The city clerk's conducting of this STV/PR vote was criticized and the next year the city held a plebiscite on whether to continue using the STV/PR system.
Under the minimum South Side representation rule, Herlihy was elected over Lake and McBain. Later McBain challenged Herlihy's election and was given the school board seat.
Separate (Catholic) school trustees
Harry Carrigan, J O Pilon, and W D Trainor were acclaimed.
