Each year, APEGS engages an independent third-party research firm to conduct council elections on the twentieth day before the date fixed by the Council as polling day.
APEGS engaged Insightrix Research Inc. to conduct the 2020 council elections. Insightrix issued ballots on March 30, 2020 and polling day was on April 20, 2020.
The total number of votes cast was 1,875 (1,859 electronic, 16 mail) being 14.8 per cent of the 12,669 total ballots sent out. There was one spoiled ballot.
Council turnover takes place at the APEGS annual meeting, which had been scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2020. Since the annual meeting was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Council turnover occurred on Monday, May 4, 2020.
