, although the Liberal Party did receive the majority of votes in the 1905 election and thus rightly formed majority government. Every boundary redistribution since 1905 has been based on the original boundaries, with districts being split or merged. From 1905 to 1926 with only a few exceptions each district elected a single member on the

were elected on a plurality block vote, where each voter could cast as many votes as seats to be filled. There have also been a couple of cases where members were elected outside of the geographical districts and did not represent any districts. Such was the case in the world wars when Albertans serving overseas voted for their own representatives. From 1924 to 1956 Calgary and Edmonton MLAs were elected in multiple-member districts encompassing whole cities that used

. Under STV, some results were known as soon as the first vote count was done, but some seats took a couple days of vote transfers to fill. But the mixed representation elected in each city under STV, reflective of the mixed sentiment of the city's voters, was thought worth the wait. There were no district changes between 1926 and 1940. With Alberta in a population boom in the fifties and

growing, single transferable vote was seen as too complicated, with vote counting taking days before final results could be announced. The Social Credit government felt threatened by the growing number of opposition MLAs being elected, and in 1959 returned Alberta to First past the post elections in single-member districts. No government has since changed the electoral system. In 1977

. While the Court of Appeals reference found the boundaries consistent with the Charter, the report was scrapped and amendments to the ''Electoral Divisions Act'' were introduced in early 1991 to effectively "Charter-proof" the new districts. The same Select Committee was tasked with creating the new report which was presented to the Legislature in November 1992, and once again referred to the Court of Appeal of Alberta to rule on the constitutional validity of the boundaries. The four Progressive Conservative MLAs on the Select Committee (Bob Bogle, Stockwell Day, Pat Nelson,

) participated fully in developing the report, while the Opposition refused to appoint any MLAs. Subsequently, the boundaries were implemented and used for the June 1993 Alberta general election. The Court of Appeal of Alberta withheld Charter condemnation, but found numerous issues with the process and requirements put forward for the re-distribution. In particular the members of the Select Committee were unable to provide sufficient rationale to the court for a number of the boundaries and district sizes recommended in the report. The court explicitly voiced the opinion that a proper electoral boundary review was necessary within the term of the present government (which expired in 1997). Following the issues in the early 1990s, a semi-independent boundary commissions were set up to tweak the boundaries to population changes that occurred after every census. Committees are composed of a neutral Judge, two members appointed by the governing party, and two members appointed by the official opposition.

2010 electoral boundary commission

The ''2009/2010 Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission'' was established on 31 July 2009, and was chaired by Justice J. M. Walter and members included Keith Archer, Peter Dobbie, Brian Evans and Allyson Jeffs. The Final Report by the commission with recommendations was submitted to the legislature on 24 June 2010. The recommendations of the Commission were accepted and the electoral division boundaries were implemented by ''Bill 28, Electoral Divisions Act''. The 2010 redistribution increased the number of seats in the Alberta Legislative Assembly from 83 to 87, a decision by Premier

to ensure rural districts would not be removed in the growingly urban Alberta. The Commission's final report warned that Alberta would have to reevaluate how seats are distributed to rural areas specifically in regards to the province's large northern areas. The report warned that the population discrepancy required to preserve lesser populated rural electoral districts in the face of growing urban districts remained controversial for Albertans and elected representatives. A minority position in the Commission found the division of Alberta into three geographic areas (Calgary, Edmonton, other) problematic as it effectively ignored fast growing mid-sized cities which were fragmented into hybrid rural-urban constituencies.

to call an early election in 2015, the Commission was required to be formed before the prescribed date in time for the next election in 2019. Previous Commissions had provided for modest redistributions in favour of Alberta's cities which according to Political Scientist Roger Epp brought forward "deep rural anxieties" regarding declining population and influence in Alberta. The Commission was provided with a mandate which kept the size of the Legislature fixed at 87 seats. The Commission was appointed, led by Justice Myra Bielby made only incremental changes adding one new seat in Calgary and Edmonton, as well as a seat in the Airdrie area. The Commission did however make significant statements on the rural-urban divide in Alberta, noting "Alberta is no longer entirely or primarily rural in nature" and a "disproportionate preservation of the rural voice" was no longer acceptable or feasible under law. While the ''Electoral Boundaries Commission Act'' permits up to four districts to be formed with a population 50 per cent lower than the average population, the Commission only recommended that two of these districts be formed. The districts include

which had a population of 27,818, compared to the average population of electoral districts of 46,803 following redistribution. A minority opinion was presented by Commission members appointed by the opposition, arguing that Alberta's rate of growth was a threat to "a critical part of our history, culture, and primary economic voice" which is at risk of being lost through continued redistribution.

Number of districts

As is the case with nearly every other Canadian jurisdiction, the number of districts has not increased in proportion to the growth in the provincial population. In 1905, 25,000 votes were cast across the province to elect 25 MLAs. In 1982, 945,000 votes, almost 40 times the 1905 total, were cast across the province to choose 79 MLAs, less than four times the 1905 seat total. Prior to the 1986 election the number of districts was fixed by law at 83 thus any change to that number would have to be enacted by the legislature. Even though the population has increased by more than 40 percent since 1986, the number of districts did not change until 2010. The 2012 election saw the number increase to 87.

Naming conventions

Like the federal districts in Alberta, urban ridings traditionally begin with the city name. This has generally applied where an urban area is divided and joined with rural areas, such as Grande Prairie-Wapiti and
