Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island

[1] The Legislative Assembly meets at Province House, which is at the intersection of Richmond and Great George Streets in Charlottetown.

Bills passed by the Assembly are given royal assent by the lieutenant governor in the name of the King of Canada.

Prior to 1893, Prince Edward Island had a bicameral system of government, consisting of a Legislative Council and a House of Assembly.

In 1996, the system and the electoral map were restructured, and the province now has twenty-seven Members of the Legislative Assembly, each elected from a different constituency.

The property qualification was discontinued in 1963, largely eliminating any practical distinction between the two roles, although the nominal titles continued to be used until the current single-member districts were introduced in 1996.
