Alberta general election, 1975

Alberta general election, 1975

The Alberta general election of 1975 was the eighteenth general election for the Province of Alberta, Canada. It was held on March 25 1975 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Peter Lougheed won its second term in government in a landslide, taking over 62% of the popular vote and winning 69 of the 75 seats in the legislature.

The Social Credit Party saw its vote collapse. After 36 years in government from 1935 to 1971--virtually its entire history--it was ill-prepared for a role in opposition. It lost over half of its popular vote from the previous election, and was cut down to only four MLAs--just barely holding onto official party status.
