Vote by Special Ballot During the 2025 Municipal Election

This year, Saddle Hills County voters have the option to vote by Special Ballot (i.e. mail-in ballot) during the 2025 Municipal Election.

Special Ballots are used when an elector, whose name is contained in the permanent electors register, is unable to vote at the Advance Vote or on Election Day.

If you require a Special Ballot for the 2025 Municipal Election, you must complete a Special Ballot Application.

Electors can apply for a special ballot:

• in person at the Saddle Hills County Administration Building
• by written request to: Returning Officer, Saddle Hills County, RR1, Spirit River, AB. T0H 3G0
• by phone, at (780) 864-3760
• by email, to admin@saddlehills.ab.ca
• by completing the online Special Ballot Application

There is also a fillable PDF version available for those who would like to submit this by email or print it and submit in person. 

The deadline for Special Ballot Applications is October 17, 2025, at 4:30 p.m.

Completed Special Ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m., on Monday, October 20th, 2025 (Election Day), to be eligible. Special Ballots can be mailed to Saddle Hills County or dropped off at a Voting Station on Election Day.

Special Ballots will be sent out via mail at the beginning of September 2025.

If you have not received your ballot by October 1, 2025, please get in touch with the Returning Officer.

When voting by Special Ballot, the elector will be required to attach a copy of the proper identification.
