Edmonton North East was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting from 1959 to 1971.[1]

History

[edit]

The Edmonton North East electoral district was in the 1959 redistribution which broke up the mega-ridings of Edmonton and Calgary, creating a number of single-member districts in their place. The district was redistributed into Edmonton-Beverly and Edmonton-Belmont electoral districts in 1971.
