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, members in Calgary and Edmonton were elected by
Single Transferable Vote, while the rest of the province had the option of how to count ballots. The redistribution created nine ridings in Edmonton. The other eight ridings were
Edmonton Centre,
Edmonton North,
Edmonton Norwood,
Edmonton North East,
Edmonton North West,
Strathcona East,
Strathcona Centre, and
Jasper West. In 1971 the riding was split between
Edmonton-Whitemud and
Edmonton-Parkallen.
