Winnipeg (provincial electoral district)

Winnipeg was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of Manitoba, which was represented in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. Consisting of the city of Winnipeg, the district originally existed from 1870 to 1883, returning a single member to the assembly. The district was named Winnipeg and St. John for the election of 1870 only, and Winnipeg thereafter.

In 1883, it was divided into the new districts of Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South; a third district of Winnipeg Centre was created in 1888.

In 1920, the district was reconstituted as a multiple member district, which returned ten members to the legislature who were all elected citywide under the Hare quota form of single transferable vote.[1] The district existed in this form until 1949, when the city was divided again into the three districts of Winnipeg North, South and Centre, although each of the three districts continued to elect four members by STV until 1958, when all districts in the province reverted to conventional first-past-the-post voting.[1]
