Candidates

PACE is seeking candidates for Edmonton City Council who will run in the next municipal election,

October 20, 2025. Council consists of 12 councillors, each representing a ward, and the Mayor, who is

elected at large. There is a formal City of Edmonton process for all candidates that includes completing

the required forms, collecting signatures from residents and paying a deposit. Potential candidates must

be Canadian citizens, be at least 18 years old and have lived in Edmonton for at least six months.

Becoming a PACE candidate means you support and endorse the foundational direction of the

Principled, Accountable Coalition for Edmonton. We favour lower taxes, smaller government, simple

regulations, realistic budgets and a free market economy. PACE candidates will demonstrate a history

of being fiscally prudent, business-friendly, growth-oriented, enterprise literate, community focused

with a common-sense, practical approach to problem solving and the management of city affairs.

In some cases, the PACE Nominating Committee will acclaim a candidate in a specific ward. In other

cases, two or more potential nominees will engage in a competitive nomination process, overseen by

the Party. At the completion of the nomination campaign, the successful candidate will receive the

PACE endorsement.
