Citation : Figures drawn from A REPORT ON THE ALBERTA ELECTIONS, 1905 - 1982, compiled by Kenneth A. Wark, Chief Electoral Officer, Alberta 1983. Does not note a publisher, but has the Alberta Coat of Arms, so presumably the Government of Alberta Printer, 1983.
Turnout : The number of Electors is provided for only some constituencies. Total Votes Cast are not recorded, nor are Valid Ballots or Invalid Ballots. In this election, Valid Votes are the sum of recorded votes for each candidate.
Note : In the district of Alexandra in the 1909 election, 10 polls were not counted. It is unclear for this and other constituencies in this election whether this means the votes in these polls were noted.
Note : Single member constituencies with plurality victory except in Edmonton and Calgary each of which elected two members consisting of the first and second ranked candidates by vote.
Note : The first election in which the Alberta Election Act was used. Replaced "the Territories Elections Ordinance", which was repealed on February 25, 1909. Source: A Report on Alberta Elections 1905-1982.
