Pakan (electoral district)
Pakan was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The riding was created in 1909 when Victoria shifted its boundaries west into Sturgeon. The riding was named after the small town of Pakan, Alberta.
The riding existed in the central north east part of the province, along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.[1] It disappeared in 1913 when it was split into Beaver River and St. Paul.

No election actually ever took place in this district, as there were no other candidates declared in the 1909 election.
