Election Results
Unofficial 2025 election results will be posted here when available.
The Municipality does not expect unofficial results to be available on election night. Regular updates on ballot-counting progress will be published on RMWB social media accounts while the count continues.
Counting ballots will take longer than previous elections, as ballots will now be hand-counted because of changes to election laws made by the Government of Alberta. Every municipality in Alberta – including the RMWB – will be hand-counting ballots for the Oct. 20 election instead of using vote tabulators. Previously, unofficial election results could be known by election night by using vote tabulators.
Kangaroo Board Ballot Counting Method
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo will use the Kangaroo Board ballot-counting method. This method is ideal for elections where voters may select more than one candidate (such as wards electing multiple councillors), enabling a fast and accurate hand count with clear reconciliation at each step. Watch the short video for a quick overview of how it works.
