The 1893 Edmonton municipal election was held January 3, 1893 to elect the town council (consisting of a mayor and six aldermen, each elected for a one-year term) and three trustees for each of the public and separate school divisions.

Mayor Matt McCauley was re-elected by acclamation so no vote was held this year to fill that position.

Voter turnout

Voter turnout was 128 out of 268 eligible voters, or 47.7%.

Of those who were registered to vote, 176 were residents and 92 were non-residents (property-owners who did not live in Edmonton). No person was allowed to vote unless his taxes were paid.
