Dunvegan-Central Peace-Notley was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first-past-the-post method of voting from 2012 to 2019.
The electoral district was created in the 2010 electoral boundary re-distribution from the old electoral district of Dunvegan-Central Peace. The distribution saw the north end of the constituency that resided with the Municipal District of Northern Lights being redistributed to the Peace River electoral district.[1] The electoral district is one of two in the province that is considered a special district and allowed to have less than the average population due to the lack of population and distance between communities.[1]
The change in name came from a write in campaign from Alberta New Democratic Party members who wanted to tack on Notley after their former leader Grant Notley onto the electoral district name because he was an MLA for Spirit River-Fairview an old electoral district that existed in the area.[2] They pressed for the change due to other former provincial Premiers and Opposition leaders getting districts named after them such as Edmonton-Decore and Calgary-Lougheed.[1] The Electoral Boundaries Commission refused the request, and the name change was facilitated by an amendment to the Electoral Divisions Act proposed by independent MLA Dave Taylor, which was carried by the Legislature.[3]
