Stettler was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1909 to 1993. History The Stettler electoral district was formed in 1909 from the eastern portions of the Gleichen, Rosebud, Innisfail, Red Deer and Lacombe electoral districts. The district is named after the Town of Stettler. The Stettler electoral district was abolished in 1993 and combined with portions of the Lacombe electoral district to form Lacombe-Stettler electoral district.

Province wide, Question A of the plebiscite passed in 33 of the 50 districts, while Question B passed in all five districts. Stettler barely voted against the proposal; the results were almost a tie. The voter turnout in the district was well above the province wide average of 46%. Official district returns were released to the public on December 31, 1957.
