Under the Independent Advisory Panel's proposed map, now before the Legislature. All results replay the 2023 election on these boundaries.
Votes here count about the same as the average Alberta vote. On the 2023 vote it is safe (UCP +50.6), where the Commission's Taber-Cardston was safe (UCP +66.2).
Each MLA represents a group of people. In a riding with fewer people than average, each vote carries more weight. On the panel's map, a vote here counts 1.01× the average: more than in 63 of the other 90 ridings.
The black tick marks the average (1.00×). Weight = average riding population ÷ this riding's population, using current population estimates: the panel's and the Commission's own figures, and for the 2023 ridings, 2021 census counts scaled to the same estimates. For the first two maps it is averaged over this riding's current residents. Older ridings that have grown a lot since they were drawn show low weights; that imbalance is one reason ridings are redrawn.
The same 2023 ballots, counted three ways: in the riding most of these residents voted in, in the closest Commission riding, and in this riding.

Cities 17% (Lethbridge) · Towns and villages 26% · Rural areas and First Nations 58%. Share of residents, 2021 census. Sherwood Park and Fort McMurray count as cities.
