Nomination Information
Nominations for Councillors will be accepted by the Returning Officer from Thursday, January 2, 2025 (as Wednesday, January 1, 2025 is a statutory holiday), until 12:00 PM (MST) on Monday, September 22, 2025.
Prospective candidates filing their nominations may:
- schedule an appointment with the Returning Officer by contacting them at election@smokylakecounty.ab.ca
- drop off at Smoky Lake County’s Main Office at 4612 McDougall Drive, Smoky Lake, Alberta
- mail to Smoky Lake County Elections, P.O. Box 310, Smoky Lake AB, T0A 3C0
Although nomination forms mailed will be accepted by the Returning Officer, this could pose a risk for candidates if the information is not submitted to the local jurisdiction office by the noon deadline on Nomination Day (September 22, 2025). Therefore, it is recommended that candidates file their nomination papers in person. Nominations will be accepted in-person by appointment only.
