Editing Referendums in Canada (section)

===Alberta===
[[Alberta]] has held several referendums during its history.

Three concerned Prohibition (ban on the sale of liquor). The referendums resulted in the adoption, retention and replacement of Prohibition -- [[1915 Alberta liquor plebiscite|1915]], [[1920 Canadian liquor plebiscite|1920]] and [[1923 Alberta prohibition plebiscite|1923]], respectively.

Another referendum held in [[1948 Alberta general election|1948]] was on whether or not the provincial government should take control of the province's electrical generation and distribution system, at the time a mixed system of municipal and private corporate ownership, and the preferred method of rural electrification - private corporations or provincial government.

That province also saw referendums on daylight savings in [[1967 Alberta daylight saving time plebiscite|1967]] and [[1971 Alberta daylight saving time plebiscite|1971]].

In 2021, Alberta conducted a [[2021 Alberta referendum|two-part referendum]] on whether equalization payments should be eliminated from Canada's constitution and whether Alberta should observe daylight saving time year-round.
