Alberta has provincial legislation allowing its municipalities to conduct municipal censuses. Municipalities choose to conduct their own censuses for multiple reasons such as to better inform municipal service planning and provision, inform an electoral boundary review, or to simply update their populations since the last federal census.
Alberta began the year of 2025 with 340 municipalities. Of these, eight conducted a municipal census in 2025 including four cities, one specialized municipality, two municipal districts, and one village.
