List of post-confederation Prince Edward Island general elections
General elections to the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island's unicameral legislative body, the Prince Edward Island House of Assembly. Prince Edward Island became part of the Canadian Confederation in 1873. Prior to that, Prince Edward Island was a British colony; the House of Assembly dates to 1769.
The number of seats has varied over time, from a high of thirty-two between the 1960s and 1990s, to the current low of twenty-seven.
Prince Edward Island was effectively a two-party system - the Liberal party and Conservative party until the 2019 election. After the first two elections, until 2015, only one MLA had been elected who has not been a member of these two parties. The Green Party won their first seat in 2015, their second in a 2017 byelection, and won a total of 8 seats in 2019, to form the first Green Official Opposition.
The Liberal party was elected to majority of seats in eighteen of the twenty-nine PEI general elections that occurred in the 20th century.
Prior to 1996, PEI used 16 dual-member districts; the 32 members have sat together since the 1893 abolition of the Legislative Council as a separate body. The boundaries for these districts were drawn in 1893; a single change was made in 1966. In 1996, a court determined that the number of electors varied too much between districts, and was therefore unconstitutional. This resulted in a redistricting in which a system of single-member districts was created.
