Alberta general election, 1921 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alberta general election, 1921

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alberta general election of 1921 was the fifth general election for the Province of Alberta, Canada. It was held on July 18, 1921 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

The Liberal Party of Charles Stewart, which had governed the province since its creation in 1905, was defeated unexpectedly by the United Farmers of Alberta, an agricultural lobby organization that was contesting its first elections. The UFA had no leader, and its president, Henry Wise Wood, declined to take the leadership and become Premier. The UFA's third choice, its vice president, Herbert Greenfield, agreed to do so, and sought election to the legislature in a by-election.

The Liberals had, in fact, won a larger share of the popular vote (about 34%, compared to 29% for the UFA). The popular vote numbers do not represent the actual amount of voters however as urban voters were allowed to vote 5 times in Calgary and Edmonton and 2 votes in Medicine Hat, as the districts contained 5 and 2 seats respectively, while rural voters only had 1 vote for all other districts under the first past the post electoral system. The United Farmers did not run in Calgary or Edmonton and did not benefit from the higher weighted city vote. Additionally, the United Farmers did not run candidates in every riding.
