Information for Voters

Why You Should Vote

Voting in a municipal election is an important civic duty and gives you a direct say in shaping local governance. Municipal elections determine who will represent the community in positions such as Mayor, Town Councillor, or School Trustee. These elected officials make decisions that impact daily life in Drumheller, including local policies on infrastructure, local services, taxes, education, and zoning.

By voting, you ensure your voice is heard in shaping Drumheller’s future. It's an opportunity to elect leaders who reflect your values and priorities, and it strengthens the democratic process by ensuring the government is accountable to the people it serves. Moreover, a higher voter turnout in municipal elections often leads to more representative leadership that truly reflects the diversity of the population.

Participating in municipal elections is also a way to support the health of democracy, as it encourages community engagement and fosters a sense of belonging and responsibility toward shared goals in the Town of Drumheller.
