Winnipeg Centre (provincial electoral district)
Winnipeg Centre was a provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It existed in three separate periods, using different boundaries and different election systems: 1888-1914 single-member district using first past the post; 1914-1920 two seats but each elected separately using first past the post; 1949 to 1958 (when it covered a third of Winnipeg) four-member district using STV; 1958 to 1981 single-member district using First Past The Post. In 1981, it was eliminated through redistribution.
It was initially created for the 1888 provincial election, and was abolished before the 1920 election when Winnipeg was made into a single ten-member constituency. It was re-established for the elections of 1949 and 1953, as a four-member constituency. The constituency was re-drawn in 1958, when Winnipeg and its suburbs were divided into twenty single-member constituencies, one of which was called Winnipeg Centre. This single-member constituency lasted until 1981, when it was eliminated through redistribution.
