The 1922 municipal election was held December 11, 1922 to elect a mayor and six aldermen to sit on Edmonton City Council and three trustees to sit on the public school board. R Crossland, P M Dunne, Joseph Gariépy, and J J Murray were acclaimed to two-year terms on the separate school board. There were ten aldermen on city council, but four of the positions were already filled: Ambrose Bury, James East, Thomas Malone, and Charles Weaver were all elected to two-year terms in 1921 and were still in office. Bickerton Pratt had also been elected to a two-year term in 1921, but had resigned in order to run for mayor. Accordingly, Valentine Richards was elected to a one-year term. There were seven trustees on the public school board, but four of the positions were already filled: Samuel Barnes, Ralph Bellamy, Frank Scott, and Frank Crang had all been elected to two-year terms in 1921 and were still in office. The same was true on the separate board, where F A French, Paul Jenvrin, Thomas Magee, and Joseph Henri Picard were continuing. The six candidates for mayor were a record high to date. For the aldermanic election, each voter could cast up to six votes (Block Voting. The 1922 election saw the defeat of the first woman elected to city council. Izena Ross had been elected to a one-year term in 1921, and ran for re-election but finished eighth. She received more votes than she had in 1921 but this time was not elected. It would be 1933 before voters would elect another woman. This would be the last election of aldermen that would be conducted under the at-large Block Voting system until 1928. Voters in this election voted to replace the system with Single transferable voting (STV), a form of Proportional representation that had been used in Calgary city elections since 1917. The first Edmonton municipal election to use the new system was held in December 1923. James East and other Labour aldermen were supportive of the move to adopt STV. Citizens League councillors Izena Ross and Bickerton Pratt had surprised many when they too endorsed holding a referendum on the proposal.
