List of Calgary municipal elections

This is a list of municipal elections held in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Elections for mayor were held annually until the 1923 election, when the election was for a two-year term. From the 1971 election, the mayoral term was three years. Elections for councillors and aldermen were held annually until the 1914 election, when the terms switched to two-year overlapping terms, with half of each council up for election each year. From the 1971 election, the aldermanic elections lined up fully with the mayoral elections, and were also for three-year terms.
