The MMP simulator can be run on all the general elections in this jurisdiction.

"Acc?" stands for missing data (namely races entered as having been won by acclamation when in fact the results are unknown), while "Minis." shows the number of ministerial by-elections.

The results for several by-elections are missing for this jurisdiction.

Up until the middle of the 20th century, unseating a member was commonplace and the mechanism to challenge someone's election seems to have been very lax when viewed through presentist lens, as many by-elections were held merely because the challenger — often the government or the defeated incumbent — did not like the result. What's more, newly appointed ministers had to resign and run in a ministerial by-election. Therefore, by-elections were far more frequent than they are today.

So far, there have been 42 general elections in Prince Edward Island from 1873 to 2023.

By default, these summaries are presented in descending chronological order. For you convenience, this sorter allows you to reverse the chronology and request that none, the first 10, or all the summaries be unfolded on reload. You can also limit the number of summaries to be displayed on the page, the default upon entry on a page being that there is no limit.

 IND . Note on Independents.
"Independent" is not a political party, nor is "Independent Liberal" or "Independent Conservative." Therefore, results for such candidates are treated individually. Furthermore, throughout this website, "Independent" includes candidates whose political allegiance was "No affiliation" or unspecified.

 OTH . Note on Others.
Minor or ephemeral political parties or families, as well as unofficial political banners (e.g., "Independent Liberal"), have been collapsed under "Other."

Once the Public Schools Act was passed after the 1877 session of the Assembly, the coalitions of Free Schoolers and Denominationalists dissolved and members technically reverted to their traditional party allegiances. The governement thus became a Conservative majority, but Louis Henry Davies, a Liberal, remained premier until the end of the 27th assembly.

Given that electoral results are by their very nature public information, such data that can be found in PoliCan are considered to be in the public domain. However, unless indicated otherwise, all other elements — the concept of consolidating these data into a single format, the detailed research on each election, legislature and candidate, the organization and searchability of the data, the programming allowing the entry and maintenance of the data, as well as the analyses and explanatory articles found in this website — are the intellectual property of Maurice Y.
