Edmonton municipal election, 1943

The 1943 municipal election was held November 10, 1943 to elect a mayor and five aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and four trustees to sit on the public school board (William Wilde, Joseph Gallant, Thomas Malone, and J O Pilon were acclaimed to two-year terms on the separate school board).

There were ten aldermen on city council, but five of the positions were already filled: Athelstan Bissett, Sidney Bowcott, Frederick John Mitchell, James Ogilvie, and Sidney Parsons were all elected to two-year terms in 1942 and were still in office.

There were seven trustees on the public school board, but three of the positions were already filled: Izena Ross, William McConachie, and Alex Gemeroy had been elected to two-year terms in 1942 and were still in office. The same was true of the separate board, where Adrien Crowe, Francis Killeen, and James O'Hara were continuing.
