Edmonton-Strathcona: 2023 Alberta election results
Rachel Notley (NDP) won Edmonton-Strathcona in the May 29, 2023 Alberta general election with 79.7% of the vote, 10,948 votes (62.4 points) ahead of Emad El-Zein (UCP). 17,535 valid votes were counted; turnout was 59.3%.
These are the 87 divisions used in the 2023 election. New boundaries are not yet law: an electoral boundaries commission recommended 89 divisions in March 2026, the government rejected that report in April, and a legislative committee was asked to draw a new map, aiming for 91 seats, by October 22, 2026. This map will be updated once new boundaries are adopted.
