The Province requires municipalities in Alberta to hold an election every 4 years to determine the seven Councillors for each Division for the next 4 year period. Occasionally, a by-election may be needed during this term if a vacancy arises due to a resignation, death, or other circumstances that prevent a current Councillor from fulfilling their duties.
