1959 redistribution

The historic 1959 redistribution of the provincial ridings of Calgary and Edmonton standardized the voting system back to First Past the Post. From 1926 to 1959 Calgary and Edmonton members were elected by Single Transferable Vote. The rest of the province had the option of how to count ballots. The redistribution created seven ridings in Calgary. The other six ridings were Calgary Bowness, Calgary Centre, Calgary West, Calgary North, Calgary North East, Calgary South East.
