Alberta Provincial Election 2023

Voters went to the polls in Alberta on May 29th, 2023.

In the previous provincial election in 2019, 26 women MLAs were elected in Alberta. On May 29th 2023, Alberta elected six additional women to the legislature with a total of 32 women elected, 36% of MLA’s. Equal Voice is advocating for gender parity – that means at least 50% of nominated candidates and at least 50% of elected MLAs being women or gender diverse people.

Equal Voice will continue to support and advocate for women and gender diverse candidates so Alberta sends at least 44 women or gender diverse MLAs to the Alberta legislature in the next election .

We are keeping track of all the women and gender diverse candidates who put their name on the ballot. The goal is to provide a simple and accessible resource for Canadians, journalists, and political parties.
