		Prior to 1895 a cartographic description of the electoral districts was thought unnecessary because the electoral districts usually followed county boundaries and the counties were well known by constituents.
		Initially, the task of setting electoral boundaries was left to Parliament, and not unexpectedly, the party in office often found it difficult to avoid gerrymandering the boundaries (deliberately redrawing the boundaries for their own benefit).
		The 1895 electoral atlas is indexed by province and by electoral district.

	Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission Final Report
		Before dealing with the distribution of electoral divisions, the Commission wishes to bring to the attention of the Legislative Assembly various issues that were raised, in both written and oral submissions, which are beyond its current terms of reference.
		This raises questions of how big the rural electoral divisions will be and how large a division can be before it involves so many non-common interests that it is both impossible for the disparate issues of the electors to be represented and for the MLA to represent them.
		In the large rural electoral divisions, an issue may be the significant travel time imposed on the constituents to attend a constituency office, even if the office is located in the geographic centre of the division.

	Political Notes September 2004
		Suppose that electoral reform divides the country (or a province) into fewer but larger electoral districts that allow for the election of several representatives.
		Suppose each new electoral district is the size of four old ridings but each new district elects four members of parliament.
		Such a process may seem bizarre but it is a transitional form between the present electoral process using the traditional riding and the process of proportional representation.
