The 1890 Calgary municipal election was scheduled for January 6, 1890 to elect a Mayor and six Councillors to sit on the sixth Calgary Town Council from January 20, 1890 to January 19, 1891.
Voting rights were provided to any male, single woman, or widowed British subject over twenty-one years of age who are assessed on the last revised assessment roll with a minimum property value of $200.
The election was held under multiple non-transferable vote where each elector was able to cast a ballot for the mayor and up to four ballots for separate councillors.[1]
The Calgary Daily Herald reported there were many cases of electors who were entitled to vote, but were not on the voters list.[2]
