The district is mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting.

The first election in 1993 saw Edmonton-Whitemud incumbent Percy Wickman pickup the new district for the Liberal party with a very large majority.

The 2001 general election saw former Member of Parliament Ian McClelland pickup the district for the first time for the Progressive Conservatives.

Miller would only last a single term in office, he ran for re-election in 2008 but was defeated in a very close race by Progressive Conservative candidate Fred Horne.

The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority.
