The 1935 Prince Edward Island general election was held in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island on 23 July 1935.[1] The Liberal Party led by Walter Lea swept the board by winning every seat in every constituency. This was the first time that a government in the British Commonwealth would face no opposition in an elected chamber.[2] To date, this feat has only been accomplished one other time in Canadian history, the 1987 New Brunswick election.
