What do you care about this election?
Taproot is gathering information from the community to better understand what issues are most important as voters make their decisions for the municipal election on Oct. 20, 2025.
Curiosity is at the heart of everything Taproot does, and covering a municipal election is no different. We begin by asking what you care about and building our work around that in the months leading up to Election Day.
Your input will inform the survey we will send to candidates for mayor and city council in Edmonton, and possibly in some of the surrounding communities. That survey will be the basis of a matching engine that will allow you to identify which candidates are most aligned with your views.
Learn more about our approach to election coverage in this blog post.
Your input is anonymous. You may opt in to receive email from us, as a subscriber to Taproot in general and/or to receive alerts about the readiness of the matching engine and other election tools. This is optional, and your email address will not be correlated in any way with your answers.
We expect to use AI tools to discern patterns and help us turn this data into questions for the candidates. No identifying information will be used for this analysis, and humans will oversee every step.
All input is collected in accordance with our privacy policy.
