The '''2010 Edmonton municipal election''' was held Monday, October 18, 2010 to elect a [[Mayor of Edmonton|mayor]] and 12 [[councillor]]s to the [[Edmonton City Council|city council]], the nine [[trustee]]s to [[Edmonton Public Schools]], and the seven trustees to the [[Edmonton Catholic Schools]]. Two [[incumbent]] public school trustees had no challengers so were elected by acclamation. 

Since 1968, provincial legislation had required [[2010 Alberta municipal elections|every municipality]] to hold triennial elections.

On July 22, 2009, City Council voted to change the electoral system of six wards to a system of 12 wards; each represented by a single councillor, the changes took effect for the 2010 election. Of the estimated 596,406 eligible voters, only 199,359 turned in a ballot, a voter turnout of 33.4%. A municipal census conducted in 2009 showed a population of 782,439, meaning approximately 76.2% of the population was eligible to vote.

The mayor was elected in the city at-large through [[First-past-the-post voting]].

The councillors were elected in single-member wards through [[First-past-the-post voting]].

They were all elected to three year terms in single-member wards. All contests were conducted according to the [[first past the post]] (FPTP) system. Although FPTP elects the candidate that receives the most votes, it does not always produce a winner that has received over 50% of the votes. The winner in seven of the 12 city councillor contests was elected with less than a majority of the votes cast.
