Third-Party Advertising

Third-party advertisers must be one of the following:

• An individual who resides in Alberta
• A group, as defined in the Local Authorities Election Act and whose members all reside in Alberta
• A corporation that carries out business in Alberta
• An Alberta trade union or Alberta employee organization

Any changes to the registered information, such as an update to group membership, must be reported to Edmonton Elections within 30 days. Updates can be sent by email to elections@edmonton.ca.

Third-party advertisers already registered with the provincial government – meaning that they are active in more than 10 jurisdictions – do not need to register with Edmonton Elections.

Complete and submit the Registration of a Third Party (Form 27) to Edmonton Elections.

Groups must also provide the following:

• Resolution: A copy of a passed resolution confirming an intention to act as a third-party advertiser. This may be in the form of certified meeting minutes.
• Membership List: A list of the principal officers or principal members, with full names, mailing addresses (including postal codes), emails and phone numbers.

Corporations must provide the following:

• Proof of Alberta Registration: A document verifying the official registration of the corporation in Alberta. This may include a certificate of incorporation issued by a registry in Alberta, a corporate registry search report, or the articles of incorporation.

A third party with a governing body must also provide a copy of a resolution authorizing the third party to incur election advertising expenses.

Applications can be submitted anytime by email, postal mail, or in person. The 2025 Edmonton Election advertising period is from May 1 to October 20.
