Educational Resources
We encourage everyone to learn about the democratic process in Alberta and how you can take part. Learn more about the three levels of government, how voting works, and how you can take part.
Which Election? / Quelle Élection
Citizens vote in elections at federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal/local levels. These elections are run by different organizations, under different conditions, with each electing a different parliament, legislature, or council.
Learn more about the three levels of government and discover opportunities to engage in civic participation at each level through the short videos developed in collaboration with all provincial and territorial electoral agencies and Elections Canada.

Citizen Today, Voter Tomorrow
Citoyen Aujourd’hui, Électeur Demain
Congratulations on becoming a Canadian citizen! It’s no small accomplishment, and we’re proud to welcome you to your new home.
Now, you can get ready to vote. You’ve probably already heard a lot about elections, whether it was on the citizenship exam or during the Oath of Citizenship where you pledged to fulfill your responsibilities as a Canadian citizen, including voting.
Elections Alberta has been working with Elections Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to assist you in this new chapter of being a Canadian citizen and a new voter.
We’ve developed educational materials, specifically for you, in both English and French. They provide the information you need to get started on your voting journey!
