Who should I vote for?

To figure that out, first you’ll need to know which ward you live in. The best way to determine that is with this tool.
Then you’ll want to look at the candidates both for councillor of the ward you live in, and for mayor. Elections Calgary maintains a list of all nominated candidates, along with their website and which party they belong to, if any.
