The 1963 municipal election was held October 16, 1963 to elect a mayor and six aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and four trustees to sit on each of the public and separate school boards. The electorate also decided three plebiscite questions.
There were ten aldermen on city council, but four of the positions were already filled: Frederick John Mitchell, Ethel Wilson, Morris Weinlos, and Vincent Dantzer were all elected to two year terms in 1962 and were still in office. George Prudham was also elected to a two year term in 1961, but resigned.
There were seven trustees on the public school board, but three of the positions were already filled: James Falconer, Milton Lazerte, and Helen Sinclair were elected to two year terms in 1962 and were still in office. The same was true on the separate board, where Edward Stack, Jean McDonald, and Bill Diachuk were continuing.
All elected officials were elected to one year terms in this election, in preparation for the changeover to a new system, whereby elections would be held only every two years with all officials elected to two year terms.
Voter Turnout
There were 98052 ballots cast out of 173901 eligible voters, for a voter turnout of 56.4%.
