The Liberals had, in fact, won a larger share of the popular vote (about 34%, compared to 29% for the UFA). The popular vote numbers do not represent the actual amount of voters however as urban voters were allowed to vote 5 times in Calgary and Edmonton and 2 votes in Medicine Hat, as the districts contained 5 and 2 seats respectively, while rural voters only had 1 vote for all other districts under the first past the post electoral system. The United Farmers did not run in Calgary or Edmonton and did not benefit from the higher weighted city vote. Additionally, the United Farmers did not run candidates in every riding. The plurality voting system, also known as first past the post, is a voting system used to elect a single winner in a given election. ...
