Coronation was a provincial electoral district in Alberta mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1913 to 1926 under the First Past the Post voting system and under Single Transferable Vote from 1926 to 1940.[1]
The Coronation electoral district was created prior to the 1913 Alberta general election from a portion of the Sedgewick electoral district. The Coronation electoral district was re-distributed prior to the 1940 Alberta general election, the area the district covered was merged with Acadia to form the riding of Acadia-Coronation.
The first representative for the district, Liberal Frank H. Whiteside was killed in September 1916, no by-election was held to fill the seat.[2]
