The '''Legislative Assembly of Alberta''' is the [[deliberative assembly]] of the province of [[Alberta]], Canada. It sits in the [[Alberta Legislature Building]] in [[Edmonton]]. Since 2012 the Legislative Assembly has had 87 members, elected [[first past the post]] from single-member [[electoral district]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.assembly.ab.ca/|title=Legislative Assembly of Alberta|website=www.assembly.ab.ca}}</ref> Bills passed by the Legislative Assembly are given [[royal assent]] by the [[lieutenant governor of Alberta]], as the viceregal representative of the [[Monarchy in Alberta|King of Canada]].<ref>{{Cite canlaw |short title = The Alberta Act |abbr = 4-5 Edw.

The maximum period between general elections of the assembly, as set by [[Section 4 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms|Section 4]] of the [[Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms]] is five years, which is further reinforced in Alberta's ''Legislative Assembly Act''.<ref>{{Cite canlaw|short title  =Legislative Assembly Act |abbr =RSA |year =2000 |chapter =L-9 |section =3 |subsection =1|part =|division =|schedule =|link =http://canlii.ca/t/81pt}}</ref> Convention dictates the [[Premier of Alberta|premier]] controls the date of election and usually selects a date in the fourth or fifth year after the preceding election.

</ref> Alberta has never had a [[minority government]] and an election as a result of a [[vote of no confidence]] has never occurred.

To be a candidate for election to the assembly, a person must be a [[Canadian citizen]] older than 18 who has lived in Alberta for at least six months before the election and has registered with [[Elections Alberta]] under the ''Election Finances and Contributions Disclosure Act''. [[Senate of Canada|Senator]]s, [[Alberta Senate nominee elections|senators-in-waiting]], members of the [[House of Commons of Canada|House of Commons]], and criminal inmates are ineligible.<ref>{{Cite canlaw|short title  =Election Act |abbr =RSA |year =2000 |chapter =E-1| section =56|subsection = |link =http://canlii.ca/t/81m1 |linkloc =|wikilink =|type =|amended1 =|amended2=|amended3 =|amended4 =|amended5 =|regtitle =|regnumber =}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:AlbertaLegislature.jpg|thumb|The [[Alberta Legislature Building]] has housed the chamber of the Legislative Assembly since its completion in 1913.]]
The first session of the first Legislature of Alberta opened on March 15, 1906, in the [[Thistle Rink]], Edmonton, north of [[Jasper Avenue]]. After the speech from the throne, the assembly held its sessions in the [[McKay Avenue School]]. In this school Alberta MLAs chose the provincial capital,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.alberta.ca/mcdougall-centre-history.aspx|title=History of the building|website=www.alberta.ca|date=29 February 2024 }}</ref> Edmonton, and the future site for the Alberta Legislature Building: the bank of the [[North Saskatchewan River]]. [[Allan Merrick Jeffers]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.alberta.ca/mcdougall-centre.aspx|title=McDougall Centre|website=www.alberta.ca|date=29 February 2024 }}</ref> a graduate of the [[Rhode Island School of Design]] was the [[architect]] who was chosen to build the assembly building. From 1908 to 1911 the Legislative Assembly met in a hall annexed to the old Terrace Building.<ref>Macauley, 75th Anniversary of Alberta's Legislative Building http://www.revparl.ca/english/issue.asp?art=735&param=122. accessed April 16, 2025</ref><ref>Terrace Building, Edmonton, Alberta https://hermis.alberta.ca/paa/PhotoGalleryDetails.aspx?st=edmonton&cp=257&ReturnUrl=%2Fpaa%2FSearch.aspx%3Fst%3Dedmonton%26cp%3D257&dv=True&DeptID=1&ObjectID=A5676</ref>

In September 1912 [[Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn]], [[Governor General of Canada]], declared the new Legislature building officially open.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.assembly.ab.ca/pub/gdbook/CitizensGuide.pdf|title=Citizens Guide|website=www.assembly.ab.ca|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014141433/https://www.assembly.ab.ca/pub/gdbook/CitizensGuide.pdf |archive-date=2007-10-14 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://albertaonrecord.ca/jeffers-allan-merrick|title=Jeffers, Allan Merrick - Alberta On Record|website=albertaonrecord.ca}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://exploreedmonton.com/things-to-do/attractions-and-experiences/alberta-legislature|title=Alberta Legislature|website=Alberta Legislature - Explore Edmonton}}</ref>

[[Louise McKinney]] and [[Roberta MacAdams]] were the first women elected to the assembly, in the [[1917 Alberta general election|1917 election]]. They were also the first women in any legislature of the British Empire. The [[United Farmers of Alberta]] held a majority of seats in the legislative assembly from 1921 to 1935 and formed the longest-lived agrarian revolt government in Canada. From 1926 to 1955, Edmonton and Calgary MLAs were elected through a form of [[proportional representation]]. In 1935 the Alberta Legislative Assembly elected the world's first [[Alberta Social Credit Party|Social Credit]] government.<ref>A Report on Alberta Elections, 1905-1982</ref>

==Current members ==
The members of the [[31st Alberta Legislature]] were elected in the [[2023 Alberta general election|31st Alberta general election]] held on May 29, 2023. '''Bold''' indicates '''cabinet members''', and ''party leaders'' are ''italicized''.
