Prince Albert Northcote

1

Prince Albert Northcote is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. One of two provincial constituencies for the city of Prince Albert, the other being Prince Albert Carlton, the riding's southern boundary follows 15th Street (Hwy. 302) from east to west; then curves south along 9th/10th Avenue West to 28th Street, which the boundary follows westward until the city limits. The riding was last contested in the 2020 general election, when Saskatchewan Party candidate Alana Ross defeated incumbent NDP MLA Nicole Rancourt.

History

Prince Albert Northcote was created in 1989 out of parts of Prince Albert, Prince Albert-Duck Lake and Shellbrook-Torch River. It was first contested in the 1991 general election. Its boundaries have remained generally the same since its creation, aside from several minor changes (mostly involving the riding's southern boundary with Prince Albert Carlton) during province-wide electoral redistributions completed prior to the 1995, 2003, 2016 and 2024 general elections. From its creation through the 2007 general election, Prince Albert Northcote returned New Democratic Party MLAs. Since the 2011 general election, however, the riding has been one of the most competitive in the province, and has changed parties in each general election since 2011. In the 2011 general election, Victoria Jurgens won the seat for the Saskatchewan Party by 191 votes. In the 2016 general election, NDP candidate Nicole Rancourt won the riding by 261 votes. In the 2020 general election, Saskatchewan Party candidate Alana Ross won the riding with a 195-vote plurality.
