The 27th Saskatchewan general election was held on November 7, 2011, to elect 58 members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan (MLAs).[1] The election was called on October 10 by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, on the advice of Premier Brad Wall.[2] Wall's Saskatchewan Party government was re-elected with an increased majority.

This was the first Saskatchewan provincial vote to use a fixed election date, set on the first Monday of November every four years.[3]

Results

On election night, the incumbent Saskatchewan Party won 84% of the seats in the provincial legislature on the strength of 64% of the popular vote. Opposition leader Dwain Lingenfelter was unseated as the New Democrats fell to only 9 ridings. The Saskatchewan Party maintained their dominance of rural regions, in addition to making substantial inroads in the formerly NDP-dominated urban areas of Regina and Saskatoon. The Green Party failed to win any seats – though they ran a full slate of 58 candidates and took third place in the overall popular vote, ahead of the Liberal Party. The Progressive Conservatives made a small gain in popular vote for the second straight election.

Results by region

The Saskatchewan Party maintained their sweep of the southern and central rural ridings. The Saskatchewan Party succeeded in unseating New Democrats in a number of smaller cities – including Moose Jaw, The Battlefords, and Prince Albert. The Saskatchewan Party won the majority of votes and seats in Saskatoon, which has traditionally been more friendly to right-of-centre parties and candidates. However – and perhaps most surprisingly – the Saskatchewan Party was able to drastically reduce the New Democrats' hold on Regina, in part due to picking up local support from the largely absent Liberal Party.

The New Democratic Party maintained their hold on the two northernmost ridings in Saskatchewan, in addition to three seats in the provincial capital and four constituencies in Saskatoon. NDP Leader Dwain Lingenfelter lost his bid for re-election in Regina Douglas Park.
