Alberta Political Map

What the map shows

This map visualizes Alberta's provincial political landscape by dividing the province into its 87 electoral districts, commonly known as ridings, as of 9 September 2026. A riding, or constituency, is a defined geographic area drawn according to population and regional boundaries, and each one is represented by a single elected official called a Member of the Legislative Assembly. An MLA serves as the direct local representative for the residents living in their district, advocating for community issues, debating legislation, and voting on provincial policy in the Legislative Assembly. The map uses party branding colours: blue for the governing United Conservative Party, orange for the New Democratic Party, and grey for others. A riding with a serving minister is indicated by a red dot.

In addition to basic legislative boundaries, the map highlights which MLAs hold elevated executive roles as ministers. A minister, or cabinet minister, is an MLA appointed by the Premier to lead a specific government department, such as Education, Finance, Energy, or Health. While standard MLAs focus on constituency advocacy and legislative debate, cabinet ministers hold direct executive authority to manage ministry budgets, direct provincial policy, and sponsor government bills.

Membership as of 9 September 2026. Seats change between elections through resignations, by-elections and floor crossings, and cabinet is remade at the Premier's discretion, so any of this can be out of date without the boundaries changing.
