There were eight aldermen on city council, but three of the positions were already filled: Robert Manson, Joseph Henri Picard, and Samuel Smith had been elected to two-year terms in 1905, and were still in office. William Antrobus Griesbach had also been elected to a two-year term in 1905, but resigned to run for mayor. Accordingly, five were to be elected, with the fifth place aldermanic candidate - Morton MacAuley - to be elected to serve out the remaining year of Griesbach's term. (MacAuley and Walker resigned the following year, each causing a 1907 Edmonton municipal by-election.) In the election of mayor, each voter had one vote. ln the aldermanic and schoolboard elections, each voter could cast as many votes as the number of empty seats. Edmonton had no wards at that time.
