The 1930 Alberta general election was held on June 19, 1930, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
The United Farmers of Alberta won election to a third term in government, and John E. Brownlee continued as premier.
This provincial election, like the previous election (1926), used district-level proportional representation (Single transferable voting) to elect the MLAs of Edmonton and Calgary. (Medicine Hat no longer had multiple seats.) City-wide districts were used to elect multiple MLAs in the two main cities.
All the other MLAs were elected in single-member districts through Instant-runoff voting.
Th United Farmers again ran one candidate in Edmonton and won that seat and did not run in Calgary.
Altogether in the cities the UFA won just one seat in the cities (in Edmonton) but won a great share of the rural seats, by securing the support of a majority of votes in each district, as required under IRV (AKA Alternative Voting).
The effect of STV in the cities was that candidates of four parties - UFA, Conservative, Liberal and Labour - were elected in Edmonton reflecting votes cast.
STV in Calgary similarly produced mixed representation reflecting votes cast. Candidates of the Conservative, Liberal and Labour parties were elected there.Mardon and Mardon, Alberta Election Results
Nominations
There were a significant number of Independent nominations, many of which were in districts where the Liberals chose not to field candidates. In addition, four Communist Party candidates were nominated:

Beaver River
The most closely contested race in the election happened in the Beaver River electoral district. The election was a three-way race between incumbent United Farmers MLA John Delisle Liberal candidate Henry Dakin and Independent candidate Luc Lebel.
The first count results showed Delisle leading Dakin by seven votes. Lebel was in third place with 87 votes. Under Instant runoff voting, when no candidate has a majority, the least-popular candidate is eliminated and his votes transferred.http://www.abheritage.ca/abpolitics/administration/maps_choice.php?Year=1930&Constit=Beaver_River Beaver River Official Results 1930 Alberta general election Alberta Heritage Community Foundation April 29, 2010 Lebel was eliminated and his 87 votes were transferred where second-choice preference had been marked. The new vote tallies showed Delisle with 21 more votes than Dakin. Delisle was declared elected on June 25, 1930, six days after the election was held.Alberta Government Now Sure Of 40 Seats Manitoba Free Press June 25, 1930 6 Vol 55 No 304
The Liberals challenged the results in provincial court. A judicial recount was ordered. Judge Taylor concluded on August 21, 1930, that the second count results showed Dakin had four more votes than Delisle. Delisle's election was overturned, and Dakin picked up the seat.Recount Gives Libs. Another Alta. Seat The Lethbridge Herald 1 August 21, 1930 Vol XXIII No 213

The vote count proceeded in the following order:
Irwin and Webster, having achieved the quota, were declared elected on the first count, and their excess amounts were distributed in 2nd and 3rd Count.
Vickers, O'Sullivan and Turner were then eliminated in turn. (A candidate once eliminated or elected does not receive more votes.)
MacKay was then eliminated. His vote transfer pushed White over the quota and he was declared elected.
White's surplus votes were transferred
Patterson was eliminated. His vote transfers pushed Farthing over the quota and he was declared elected. It was not necessary to allocate Farthing's surplus votes as it was less than the difference between the remaining candidates.
Weir was eliminated. The transfers of his votes did not affect the order of popularity of the three remaining candidates. There were two remaining open seats. Bowlen and McGill, being the top two of the remaining three candidates, were declared elected. Parkyn was the only incumbent MLA to be defeated, and he was the only candidate who was not either elected or eliminated.
