Saskatchewan's history of Proportional Representation

The major cities of Saskatchewan - Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and North Battleford - each have used STV-PR in their past.


Regina used STV-PR from 1921 to 1926

Saskatoon used STV-PR from 1920 to 1926 and from 1938-1942.

Moose Jaw used STV-PR from 1920 to 1925.

North Battleford used STV-PR from 1920 to 1924.



This year we celebrate 100th anniversaries of these events:


Dec. 11, 1922 -- Saskatoon used PR-STV in its second city election. Bob Moore, member of Typographical Union, elected (Redcliff Review, Dec. 21, 1922)


Dec. 11, 1922 -- Regina used PR-STV in its second city election. Gordon Merllin, member of Typographical Union, elected (Redcliff Review, Dec. 21, 1922)


Dec. 11, 1922 -- Moose Jaw used PR-STV for the second time in its city election. Labour filled three of the city's ten seats on council.
