The Legislature officially resumed on February 20, 1941, and continued until the fourth session was prorogued on March 24, 1944, and dissolved on July 7, prior to the 1944 Alberta general election.

[1] Alberta's government was controlled by the majority Social Credit Party for the second time, led by Premier William Aberhart until his death on May 23, 1943; he was succeeded by Ernest Manning, who went on to be the longest-serving premier in Alberta history.

The Independent Citizen's Association, started by the Conservatives and including most Liberals and some former United Farmer supporters, won 19 seats.

Two independents later re-joined the Liberal Party, and the Co-operative Commonwealth entered the Legislature in its first by-election.

During the second session the government introduced An Act to prohibit the Sale of Lands to any Enemy Aliens and Hutterites for the Duration of the War (Bill 60), which prohibited the purchase or registration of lands by an enemy alien or Hutterite.
