Show Notes
In Edmontons 2025 mayoral election, campaign spending per vote varied significantly. Andrew Knack won with the lowest cost per vote at around $3, while Tim Cartmell spent over $13 per vote, including his political groups expenditures. Despite Cartmells higher spending, Knack received more votes, demonstrating that campaign spending doesnt guarantee results. Low budgets in city elections make it challenging to boost turnout, which was only 30.4% with 206,799 ballots cast. Factors like volunteers, personal networks, and untracked group activities also impact election outcomes.
