The 1915 Alberta liquor plebiscite was the first plebiscite to ask Alberta voters to decide on a public issue. The 1915 question was whether Alberta should implement prohibition by ratifying the proposed Liquor Act. The plebiscite was the culmination of years of lobbying by the province's temperance movements and agricultural groups, and was forced by the submission of a 24,000-name petition under a recently implemented direct democracy law, the Direct Legislation Act.
