List of Alberta general elections

Proportion of seats won by major parties for each election

This articles provides a summary of results for the general elctions to the Canadian province of Alberta's unicameral legislative body, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The number of seats has increased over time, from 25 for the first election in 1905, to the current 83.

To date, no political party has returned to power in Alberta after being removed in a previous election. The four "dynasties" so far have been: the Liberal Party (1905-1921), the United Farmers of Alberta (1921-1935), the Social Credit Party (1935-1971), and the Progressive Conservative Party (1971 to present). No minority government has ever been elected. Thus, Alberta can be said to have continuously had a dominant-party system for its entire political history though the dominant party has changed over time. The bar chart shown on the right illustrates this, with red being used for the Liberals, yellow for the United Farmers, green for Social Credit and blue for Conservatives.
