Province introduces new electoral boundary legislation
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The electoral map in Alberta could be shaken up ahead of the 2019 provincial election if a new bill passes in the Alberta legislature.
However, one local MLA is hoping the province will go back to the drawing board.
The Electoral Divisions Act was tabled late Monday. The proposed changes would consolidate 16 rural ridings into 13, and add three new ridings to Calgary, Edmonton and the Airdrie-Cochrane area. The province would still be left with 87 ridings.
