Alberta was, between 1989 and 2012, the only Canadian province to elect nominees for appointment to the Senate of Canada in a process known as an Alberta Senate nominee election. These elections were non-binding, as the appointment of Senators remained the responsibility of the Governor General of Canada on the advice of the Prime Minister. The process ultimately resulted in ten elected nominees, five of whom were appointed to the Senate. The legislation enabling Senate nominee elections expired in 2016, but two elected Senators still hold their seats.
