28th Alberta general election
Encyclopedia
The 28th general election in Alberta
, Canada
, will take place when the Premier
formally advises the Lieutenant Governor
to dissolve the Legislative Assembly.
In accordance with Section Four of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
, no assembly may continue for longer than five years from the return of the writs, which was March 13, 2008, making an election probable for 2012. Upon the expiration of the Legislature, on March 13, 2013, the Lieutenant Governor is not required to call an election; however, Section Five
of the 1982 charter requires an assembly to sit once every twelve months. Newly selected
Premier, Alison Redford
, has stated she intends to pass legislation fixing elections in the spring of the fourth calendar year. However, unlike the other fixed election date legislation in Canada
, the proposed legislation would fix the election to a three month period, between March 1 and May 31. This would place the election in 2012.
