The 1952 Alberta general election was held on August 5, 1952, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
Ernest C. Manning in his third election as leader of the Social Credit Party, and its first election since the Social Credit Party paid off Alberta's first debt in 1949, led it to its fifth consecutive election victory, increasing its share of the popular vote, and winning fifty two of the sixty one seats in the legislature.
The Liberal Party formed the official opposition with only four seats. The Conservative Party returned to Alberta politics again, nominating candidates both under the "Conservative" banner, and under the "Progressive Conservative" banner recently adopted by its federal counterpart. The party won two seats, one under each banner. The Cooperative Commonwealth Federation won two seats, one that of leader Elmer Roper. The remaining seat was won by an Independent.
This provincial election, like the previous six, saw district-level proportional representation (Single transferable voting) used to elect the MLAs of Edmonton and Calgary. City-wide districts were used to elect multiple MLAs in the cities. All the other MLAs were elected in single-member districts through Instant-runoff voting.
Voter turn-out was 59.4 percent in this election. [1]
An Act was passed in 1950 that provided for the increase in the number of MLAs from 57 to 61, upon the next election. [2] Calgary now returned six MLAs and Edmonton seven (instead of the five each previously had), and the following other changes were made:
