Between the previous 1915 election and the 1920 campaign, Manitoba experienced profound social and cultural change. Since the formal introduction of partisan politics in 1888, Manitoba had been dominated by the Liberal and Conservative parties, which governed the province in succession. After World War I, new political groups and interests emerged to threaten the two-party system.
The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 brought labour issues to the forefront of provincial concern, and radicalized many working-class Manitobans. In previous elections, labour and socialist parties were a marginal force; going into the 1920 election, they stood to make significant electoral gains. In the rural constituencies, several candidates ran for office as farmer representatives, or as "people's candidates" opposed to partisan government.
Against this backdrop, the governing Liberal Party of Tobias Norris was forced to run a defensive campaign. Supported by the Winnipeg Free Press, the Liberals portrayed themselves as a stabilizing force amid the province's changes.
The 1920 election is notable for an experiment in electoral reform in the City of Winnipeg. Previously, the city had been represented in the legislature by six single-member constituencies. For the 1920 election, these seats were replaced by a single ten-member constituency. The method of election was called proportional representation at the time, but would today be referred to as the single transferable ballot.
The election resulted in a fragmented parliament, with no group holding effective power over the legislature. Norris's Liberals remained the largest party, but were reduced to a minority government with 21 seats out of 55. The party remained in office until 1922, but could do little in the way of legislative initiatives.
Twelve "farmer" and "independent farmer" candidates were elected in rural constituencies. These legislators were a heterogeneous group, and did not run a united campaign. While not a "political party" in the traditional sense, they were able to form a functional caucus group in the legislature. Some members of this group later joined the political wing of the United Farmers of Manitoba.
The Labour Party won an impressive victory in Winnipeg, with party leader Fred Dixon finishing more than 7,000 votes ahead of his nearest rival. The province's various working-class and left-wing parties ran a united campaign in the city, and were rewarded with four seats out of ten: Dixon and William Ivens were elected from the Dominion Labour Party, George Armstrong from the Socialist Party, and John Queen from the Social Democratic Party. Robert B. Russell narrowly failed to win a second seat for the Socialists. The Ex-Soldiers and Ex-Sailors Party of Manitoba also campaigned with the labour candidates in Winnipeg.
Ivens, Armstrong, Queen and Russell were all serving prison sentences at the time of their election, resulting from their activities in the Winnipeg General Strike. Many believed the prison sentences were politically motivated, and the issue was a rallying cry for labour in the campaign.
Seven other labour MLAs were elected in the rest of the province, making the Labour group the third largest in the legislature.
The Conservative Party managed a minor recovery from its disastrous showing in 1915, winning eight seats under new leader Richard G. Willis. Willis himself was not elected.
Three independents were also elected to the legislature.
