Encyclopedia > Saskatchewan general election, 1978

The Nineteenth Provincial General Election in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan was held on October 18, 1978.


The New Democratic government of Premier Allan Blakeney was returned for a third consecutive term with an increased majority in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, and a larger share of the popular vote.


The Progressive Conservative Party of Dick Collver continued to increase its share of the popular vote in this election, and won enough seats to becoem the official opposition to the Blakeney government.


The Liberal Party, under the leadership of Ted Malone, lost all of its 15 seats in the legislature, and more than half the votes it had won in the 1975 election.

Elections Saskatchewan: Office of the Chief Electoral Officer (1542 words)
Under The Election Act, 1996 (Saskatchewan) (the "Election Act") the Office is responsible for the administration of provincial elections, by-elections, enumerations (other than during a writ of election) and provincial election finances.
Increased compliance with the election finances provisions of the legislation will be achieved through the direct involvement of political parties, candidates, official agents and business managers in the development of a full range of simplified assistance tools to be provided by Elections Saskatchewan, resulting in reduced investigation and enforcement activity.
While the Election Act is regulatory, rather than criminal, the role of the Office is to inspect, investigate and inquire instances where contravention of the Election Act is suspected or alleged, as deemed necessary by the Chief Electoral Officer.
