The Progressive Conservative government led by Premier Ralph Klein won its eighth consecutive mandate going back to 1971, increasing its share of votes and seats in the Legislature relative to the previous election in 1993. The Liberal Party retained Official Opposition status, though it lost nearly half its seats. After an electoral wipeout in 1993, the NDP returned to the Legislature by winning two seats. Background The Progressive Conservative Association had governed Alberta since 1971, and premier Ralph Klein led the party into his second general election as party leader. The previous election in 1993 was the best result for the Liberal Party since its last electoral victory in 1917. This was the second consecutive election fought on a new set of electoral boundaries, due to an Alberta Court of Appeal decision that was critical of the map created in 1992. The government amended the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act, introducing the present system where the commission is made up of a justice from the Court, two members appointed by the governing party, and two members appointed by the official opposition. A new Commission was created, which issued its recommendations for a new set of electoral boundaries in 1996.https://albertaviews.ca/knowing-draw-line/ Knowing Where to Draw the Line - Alberta Views - The Magazine for Engaged Citizens Stinson Douglas July 1, 1999 albertaviews.ca en-CA 2018-05-31 2018-07-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20180704213542/https://albertaviews.ca/knowing-draw-line/ live Opinion polls + Evolution of voting intentions at provincial level Polling firmLast day of survey Source PCA ALP ANDP Other ME Margin of Error SampleElection 1997March 11, 199751.1732.758.817.27Angus ReidJanuary 25, 1997Provincial Political Scene In Alberta, The Alberta Public Agenda https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/provincial-political-scene-alberta-alberta-public-agenda February 11, 1997 Ipsos6324113Angus ReidAugust 28, 1995Provincial Political Scene In Alberta, The Alberta Public Agenda https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/albertas-public-issues-agenda October 30, 1995 Ipsos642565Election 1993June 15, 199344.4939.7311.014.77 Results Ralph Klein's second election as leader of the PCs was considerably more successful than his first. The party won over half the popular vote, and 63 of the 83 seats in the legislature for its eighth consecutive term in government. The party continued to dominate in Calgary and rural areas, and managed to regain a foothold in Edmonton where it won two seats. The Liberal Party of Grant Mitchell lost about 7% of the popular vote it had won in the 1993 election. The party's legislative caucus was reduced from 32 members to 18. Pam Barrett led the New Democratic Party back into the legislature with two seats (both in Edmonton), despite winning an even smaller share of the popular vote than in 1993. The Social Credit Party also re-emerged, placing a strong second in several rural ridings, but did not win any seats. Overall voter turnout was 53.75%.2008 General Report http://www.elections.ab.ca/Public%20Website/files/Reports/Part8.pdf Election Alberta April 29, 2011 158 July 28, 2008 February 24, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120224135356/http://www.elections.ab.ca/Public%20Website/files/Reports/Part8.pdf live centre|300px PartyParty leader# ofcandidatesSeatsPopular vote1993Elected% Change#%% Change AB PC row-name Ralph Klein 83 51 63 +23.5% 483,914 51.17% +6.68% AB Liberal row-name Grant Mitchell 83 32 18 -43.8% 309,748 32.75% -6.98% AB NDP row-name Pam Barrett 77 - 2   83,292 8.81% -2.20% AB Social Credit row-name Randy Thorsteinson 70 - - - 64,667 6.84% +4.43% AB Natural Law row-name Maury Shapka 16 - - - 1,303 0.14% -0.37% AB Green row-name David Parker 7 - - - 1,039 0.11% -0.09% AB Independent rowIndependent 6 - - - 1,092 0.11% -0.82% AB Forum row-name William Finn 4 * - * 597 0.06% * AB Communist row-name Naomi Rankin 1 - - - 61 0.01% xTotal34783 83 - 945,713 100%  Source: Elections Alberta Notes: * Party did not nominate candidates in the previous election. x – less than 0.005% of the popular votePopular vote #ddd 600px 410px PC AB PC 51.17 Liberal AB Liberal 32.75 New Democratic AB NDP 8.81 Social Credit AB Social Credit 6.84 Others CA Inde 0.43Seats summary #ddd 600px 410px PC AB PC 75.90 Liberal AB Liberal 21.69 New Democratic AB NDP 2.41 Results by riding AB PC Liberal NDP Social Credit Other |- |Airdrie-Rocky View||AB PC background| |Carol Louise Haley8,49268.93% | |James Welsh2,19717.83% | |Doris Bannister4823.91% | |Peter Smits1,1259.13% | |||AB background| | |- |Athabasca-Wabasca||AB PC background| |Mike Cardinal3,38058.65% | |Tony Mercredi1,48125.70% | |Dean Patriquin3005.21% | |Curtis Gunderson4688.12% | |Harlan Light (Green)1001.74%||AB PC background| |Mike Cardinal |- |Banff-Cochrane||AB PC background| |Janis Tarchuk7,18060.96% | |Judy Stewart3,15126.75% | |Jeff Eamon7546.40% | |Scott Mudford6615.61% | |||AB PC background| |Brian Evans |- |Barrhead-Westlock||AB PC background| |Kenneth R.
