Saskatchewan general election, 1925

The Saskatchewan general election of 1925 was the sixth provincial election held in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It was held on June 2, 1925 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

The Liberal Party of Saskatchewan, under its new leader, Charles A. Dunning, won its sixth consecutive victory, and continued to dominate the legislature.

The Progressive Party increased its share of the vote from 7.5% to over 23%, but failed to add to its 6-member caucus.

The Conservative Party of James Anderson also increased its vote by over 14%, but only increased its representation in the legislature from 2 to 3 members.

The increase in the Progressive and Conservative vote came from voters who had supported independent candidates in the 1921 election.
