Winnipeg (provincial electoral district)

Winnipeg was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of Manitoba, which was represented in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. Consisting of the city of Winnipeg, the district originally existed from 1870 to 1883, returning a single member to the assembly. The district was named Winnipeg and St. John for the election of 1870 only, and Winnipeg thereafter.

In 1883, it was divided into the new districts of Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South; a third district of Winnipeg Centre was created in 1888.

In 1920, the district was reconstituted as a multiple member district covering the whole city of Winnipeg. This city-wide district returned ten members to the legislature who were all elected citywide through Single transferable vote form of proportional representation.^[1]

The district existed in this form until 1949, when the district was divided into three districts, Winnipeg North, South and Centre, with small parts going to Kildonan-Transcona and Iberville. Each of the three districts four members through the continued use of STV. This was the case until 1955, when all districts in the province were changed to single-member districts with the member to be elected through First-past-the-post voting in the ensuring election.^[1]
