The 2013 Calgary municipal election was held Monday, October 21, 2013, to elect a mayor and 14 councillors to the city council, the seven trustees to the Calgary School District (each representing two of 14 wards), and five of the seven trustees to the Calgary Catholic School District (each representing two of 14 wards).
Two incumbent separate school trustees had no challengers.
From 1968 to 2013, provincial legislation required every municipality to hold elections every three years.[1] The 28th Alberta Legislature introduced the Election Accountability Amendment Act (Bill 7) which among other reforms to provincial and municipal elections, amended the Local Authorities Election Act to extend the terms of local authorities including municipalities and school boards from three years to four years.[2][3][4]
The 14 electoral wards were once again each represented by a single member on council, although the wards were changed slightly from the previous term. The neighbourhood of Martindale was moved from ward 3 to ward 5, and the community that expanded the neighbourhood of Cougar Ridge into ward 1 was with the rest of the neighbourhood in ward 6.[5] This election also marked a change in title for council members from "Alderman" to "Councillor".
Naheed K. Nenshi was elected mayor with a large majority of votes cast.
