This was a holdover from when the Island had a bicameral legislature, the General Assembly and the Legislative Council. In 1893, the Legislative Council was abolished and had its membership merged with the Assembly, though the two titles remained separate and were elected by different electoral franchises. Assembleymen were elected by all eligible voters of within a district. Before 1963, Councillors were only elected by landowners within a district, but afterward they were elected in the same manner as Assemblymen.http://www.revparl.ca/11/2/11n2_88e_Driscoll.pdf History and Politics of Prince Edward Island Fred Driscoll Canadian Parliamentary Review 2016-10-20 2016-03-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304062256/http://www.revparl.ca/11/2/11n2_88e_Driscoll.pdf live Kings District Assemblyman Party Councillor Party 1st Kings     Ross "Johnny" Young Liberal     Albert Fogarty Progressive Conservative 2nd Kings     Roddy Pratt Progressive Conservative     Francis O'Brien Progressive Conservative 3rd Kings     A.
