The Legislative Assembly of Alberta is the provincial parliament where elected representatives debate issues and pass laws affecting all Albertans. Located in the historic Legislature Building in Edmonton, the Assembly consists of 87 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) elected from constituencies across the province. The governing party, which holds the majority of seats, forms the government and introduces most legislation, while opposition parties scrutinize bills and hold the government accountable. The Assembly meets in sessions throughout the year, with proceedings open to the public and broadcast online.
