14th Alberta Legislature

The 14th Alberta Legislative Assembly lasted from 1959 to 1963. The Social Credit government had been re-elected to their seventh consecutive term in power under Premier Ernest Manning. Four opposition members under four different banners were elected, each holding a single seat.

This was the first assembly elected after the Government of Alberta changed from Single Transferable Vote to First Past the Post.
