List of Saskatchewan general elections

This article provides a summary of results for the general elections to the Canadian province of Saskatchewan's unicameral legislative body, the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan. The number of seats has varied over time, from 25 for the first election in 1905 to a high of 66 for the 1991 election. There are currently 61 seats in the Legislature.[1]

The charts on the right show the information graphically, with the most recent elections on the right. It shows the popularity of the Liberal Party (red) before the Second World War, and the subsequent rise of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, which was succeeded by the New Democratic Party (orange). The successes and failures of the Progressive Conservatives (blue) and the recent arrival of the Saskatchewan Party (green) as a newer conservative party can also be seen.
