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. There were a number of concerns during the election related to imperfect voting lists. The
Calgary Weekly Herald reported a number of qualified electors were omitted from the list, and situations were wives were on the list where their husbands should have been listed. The errors were attributed to imperfect assessment rolls. ==Results==
