Third Party Advertising

The 2025 election advertising period is May 1, 2025 to October 20, 2025. 

Third Party Advertising is a way for others, outside the candidate campaign, to express support or opposition for candidates with the intent to incur expenses or contributions of at least $1,000. It does not include candidates and is separate from any candidate’s campaign. Advertisements or materials that are made and distributed by a candidate or under a candidate’s direction are part of the candidate’s campaign.

Recent amendments to the Local Authorities Election Act (the "LAEA") include rules governing the finances and accountability of third parties that intend to engage in election advertising. Third parties that intend to engage in election advertising are required to register with the City of St. Albert in accordance with Part 8 of the LAEA.

A virtual Third Party Advertising Information Session will be hosted in 2025. For more information, please view the candidate information sessions page
