The 1905 municipal election was held December 11, 1905 for the purpose of electing a mayor and four aldermen to sit on the Edmonton City Council, as well as five public school trustees and five separate school trustees. As well the vote tallies were used to appoint two candidates to city council to fill two vacant seats. This was the second election to be held since Edmonton became a city. There were eight aldermen on city council. Two of the positions were already filled: John R. Boyle and Thomas Bellamy were both elected to two-year terms in 1904 and were still in office (Boyle had been elected MLA in the 1905 provincial election and would resign as alderman in March 1906). Charles May and Kenneth McLeod had also been elected to two years terms in 1904 but had resigned partway through their terms, leaving two seats vacant. May resigned to run for the mayor's post and was elected. City council filled these seats after the 1905 election by appointment of the two most popular unsuccessful candidates - Robert Mays and David Latta. This equivalency of electing six members by relative vote standings while each voter only had four votes meant the election was an example of limited voting. In early 1906 the provincial Legislature passed amendments to the city charter, and since then, vacant seats are filled by a by-election, or during the period when staggered terms were used, as part of a general municipal election.
