British Columbia general election, 1949

British Columbia general election, 1949

The British Columbia general election of 1949 was the 22nd general election in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The election was called on April 16 1949, and held on June 15 1949. The new legislature met for the first time on February 14 1950.

The centre-right coalition formed by the Liberal and Conservative parties in order to defeat the social democratic Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in the 1945 election increased its share of the vote and its majority in the legislature.

Three different social credit groupings nominated or endorsed candidates in the election: the Social Credit Party, the Social Credit League, and the Union of Electors.

Results

Notes:

* Party did not nominate candidates in the previous election.

1 Various social credit groups nominated 16 candidates in the 1945 election as part of a Social Credit "alliance". These candidates won 6,627 votes, 1.42% of the popular vote in that election.

2 The candidate, running independently from the Liberal-PC Coalition, is listed as "Conservative" rather than "Progressive Conservative" in the Statement of Votes.
