The Current electoral laws in Alberta fix the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta at 87.

Walter and members included Keith Archer, Peter Dobbie, Brian Evans and Allyson Jeffs.[1] The Final Report by the commission with recommendations was submitted to the legislature on June 24, 2010.[1] The recommendations of the Commission were accepted and the electoral division boundaries were implemented by Bill 28, Electoral Divisions Act.:[2]
