July 30 1890 (PE)

Summary

Notes

• Note: The results for Queens County include special votes. The same - though unstated by the newspapers - is assumed for both Kings and Prince counties.
• Note: This election would prove to be the last for the Legislative Council as a body separate from the Island’s House of Assembly. By 1893, after years of debate on the matter, the Legislative Council was abolished as an upper house, and amalgamated with the House of Assembly to create the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island.
