Social Credit Candidates, 1953 Manitoba Provincial Election

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Manitoba Social Credit Party ran 43 candidates in the 1953 Manitoba election, two of whom were elected. Some of these candidates are individual biography pages. Information about others may be found here. The 1953 Manitoba election was determined by instant-runoff voting in most constituencies. Three constituencies (Winnipeg Centre, Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South) returned four members by the single transferable vote (STV), with a 20% quota for election. St. Boniface elected two members by STV, with a 33% quota. The Social Credit campaign was organized by Orvis A. Kennedy and Peer Paynter, who had been responsible for the British Columbia Social Credit Party's upset victory in that province's 1952 election.
