Submit Your Notice of Intent
The notice of intent is a new legislated requirement and is different than the nomination process.
Notice of Intent Overview
Candidates can only accept campaign contributions and incur campaign expenses once they have submitted a notice of intent to run in the St. Albert Municipal Election. A notice of intent will be reviewed by the Election Office and is only complete once the candidate has been added to the Register of Candidates.
- A notice of intent can be submitted any time during the campaign period from October 31, 2024, to December 31, 2025.
- A notice of intent and being added to the Register of Candidates is not a substitute for completing the nomination process which starts January 1, 2025, and closes at 12 noon on Nomination Day, September 22, 2025.
- After January 1, 2025, candidates can submit their nomination forms and notice of intent at the same time. Nomination forms must be submitted with a notice of intent if you plan to accept contributions or incur expenses.
Campaign Disclosure Statements
- 2024 Campaign Disclosure Statement: If you have accepted contributions or incurred expenses in 2024 you must file the required campaign disclosure forms by March 1, 2025.
- 2025 Campaign Disclosure Statement: If you have accepted contributions or incurred expenses in 2025 you must file the required campaign disclosure forms by March 1, 2026.
