British Columbia General Election, 1928

The 17th general election for the Province of British Columbia, Canada was called on June 7, 1928, and held on July 18, 1928. The new legislature met for the first time on January 22, 1929. The Conservative Party defeated the governing Liberal Party, taking over half the popular vote, and 35 of the 48 seats in the legislature. The Liberals' popular vote also increased significantly, but because of the disappearance of the Provincial Party and the Canadian Labour Party, which had won over 35% of the vote together in the previous election, the Liberals were defeated.
