	United Farmers			Other			Independent

This article provides a summary of results for the general elections to the Canadian province of Alberta's unicameral legislative body, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The number of seats has increased over time, from 25 for the first election in 1905, to the current 83.

To date, no political party has returned to power in Alberta after being removed in a previous election. The province has been ruled by four "dynasties": the Liberal Party (1905-1921); the United Farmers of Alberta (1921-1935), the Social Credit Party (1935-1971), and the Progressive Conservative Party (1971 to present). No minority government has ever been elected. Thus, Alberta can be said to have continuously had a dominant-party system for its entire political history though the dominant party has changed over time.

The chart on the right shows the information graphically, with the most recent elections on the right. It shows the successive dynasties of the Liberals (red), United Farmers (yellow), Social Credit (green) and Conservatives (blue).
