Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:Infobox leadership election The Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta leadership election, 2011 was prompted by Ed Stelmach's announcement that he would not be seeking re-election in the 28th general election and therefore would be resigning as leader of the Progressive Conservatives. With the Progressive Conservatives forming the Alberta government, the winner of the election consequently became Premier of Alberta.

Stelmach provided official notice of resignation on May 27, 2011. The PC Association then announced the timeline of the election, with the nomination deadline on July 15, and the first ballot on September 17. As no candidate had over 50% of the vote, the second ballot, with the top three candidates, took place on October 1, 2011. Upon no candidate receiving over 50% on that ballot, the second preference votes were added, and Alison Redford was declared the leader, after Gary Mar received the most votes on the first and second ballots.

Second ballot

Файл:Alberta 2011 PC Leadership 2.png

The leading candidate in each riding on the second ballot.

A preferential ballot was cast on October 1, 2011. Because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote on the first count, the third-place finisher was dropped, and the second preference votes cast on Horner's ballots were counted and added to the remaining candidate's totals. Mar led after the first round, and Horner was eliminated. After second preferences were applied, Redford was declared the winner.

Candidate	Round 1		Round 2
	Votes	Percentage	Votes	Percentage
Alison Redford	28,993	37.09	37,101	51.11
Gary Mar	33,233	42.51	35,491	48.89
Doug Horner	15,950	20.40	Eliminated
Total	78,176	100.00	72,592	100.00
