There are 61 constituencies in the province, which elect members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). All are single-member districts, though the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw were in the past represented through multi-member districts, with members elected through block voting.
The legislature has been unicameral since its establishment; there has never been a provincial upper house.
The 30th Saskatchewan Legislature was elected at the 2024 Saskatchewan general election.
