daons Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The 1959 Alberta general election is to be held on June 18, 1959, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. Ernest C. Manning, in his fifth election as party leader and provincial premier hopes to lead the Social Credit Party to its seventh consecutive term in government. Previous to this election, the Social Credit government had done away with the Instant-runoff voting system in use in the rural constituencies, and the Single Transferable Vote system in Edmonton and Calgary, both of which had been in place since 1924. This brings Alberta in line with the other provinces using the First past the post systems. https://campaigns.270soft.com/2021/09/26/1959-alberta/ Unfortunately the majority of elections before 1959 were not fully First past the post it will be hard to create accurate campaigns. There were campaigns for 1905 and 1921 done for the original which I will redo for the infinity engine eventually. I plan to work on a Nova Scotia 2021 campaign next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
