Tommy Douglas was re-elected for a third term with an increased majority. The Liberal Party of Walter Tucker increased its share of the popular vote to almost 40%, but lost 9 of the seats it had held in the previous legislature. The Social Credit and Progressive Conservative parties continued to lose support. This election was held using a mixture of single-member districts and multi-member districts. Regina elected three members. Saskatoon and Moose Jaw City elected two. Each voter could cast as many votes as there were seats to fill in the district ( Block Voting). Each multi-member district elected a one-party sweep of the district's seats. There was no proportionality.
