By acclamation – 2-year term *Crowe, Adrian *Killeen, Francis *O’Hara, James Question: Are you in favour of a two-year term for Mayor? * For: 9,959 Against: 8,312 Money Bylaw Question: Shall the Council pass a bylaw to create a debt in the sum of $1,500,00.00 for the purpose of constructing, within the City of Edmonton, a municipal building to be used as a Civic Auditorium and an Art and Recreation Centre and issue serial debentures in the sum not exceeding 30 years with interest not exceeding 4% payable semi-annually? For: 4,362 Against: 4,105 (two-thirds majority needed, therefore bylaw was defeated) *The following is the timeline for the approval of the two-year term for Mayor: 1. At the February 20, 1947 meeting of the Bylaws Committee, a bylaw proposing a series of Edmonton City Charter amendments was approved and forwarded to council. These amendments included provisions for day light savings time, limits on the number of taxi cab licenses and the 2-year term for mayor. In the bylaw, the approval of the 2-year term for mayor was to be put to the voters in the form of a plebiscite. 2. On February 25, 1947, these amendments were approved by City Council 3. On March 31, 1947, the Act to amend the Acts constituting the Edmonton Charter was proclaimed by Alberta Legislature. Section 1 of this act amends the Charter to allow for 2-year terms for mayor and section 1(4) states: "This section shall not come into force and effect unless the question, 'Are you in favour of a two-year term for Mayor?' is submitted by way of plebiscite to the electors of the City at the general municipal election to be held in the year 1947 and is approved by a majority of the electors voting on such questions" In other words, as soon as the question was approved by voters, it automatically came into force. (A copy of this section is included in Chapter 20 - Miscellaneous Newspaper Clips) 4. The actual approval of the various plebiscite questions listed above was done on September 22, 1947. At this meeting, council passed a motion making the hours of voting 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., passed a motion dealing with statutory advertising, passed a motion regarding the 2-year term for mayor question and passed a motion to approve “where-to-vote” cards to be sent out to voters. 5. The public voted on the question and approved the 2-year term.

  • 1 Party Democracy in Alberta
    1 Party Democracy in Alberta Political parties occupy an important place in democratic politics, as they, among other things, provide a link between citizens and the state. It is through parties that citizens have opportunities to affect the composition of governmental elites. In the words of the Royal Commission on Electoral Reform and Party Financing, “Political parties give voters meaningful choices, both in the direct election of their individual Member of Parliament and in the indirect election of a government” (Volume 1: 207). Parties perform a crucial pre-selection function for the political system, since in most liberal democracies, attaining party office is a necessary and occasionally suffi- cient condition for obtaining government office. The internal activities of political parties are thus of interest to those con- cerned with the health of democracy. As Michael Gallagher explains, “the way in which political parties select their candidates may be used as an acid test of how democratically they conduct their internal affairs” (1988: 1). This issue is of more than just academic significance. Citizens in elections are largely restricted to choosing from among the candidates that parties deign to put before them. This point was demonstrated vividly by Boss Tweed (former Democratic Party boss in New York), who suggested: “I don’t care who does the electing, just so I can do the nominating” (as quoted in Courtney 1995: 127). Possession of the ability to choose their party’s standard-bearer in a gen- eral election is one of the most jealously guarded prerogatives of local party activists in Canada (see Carty 1991).
