when is canada election

The next scheduled federal election in Canada is set for Monday, April 28, 2025. This election was called by Prime Minister Mark Carney and is the first to use a new 343-seat electoral map based on the 2021 census. The campaign length adheres to the legal minimum duration for federal elections in Canada. The election will determine the composition of the House of Commons for the 45th Canadian Parliament. Following the April 2025 election, the next fixed- date federal election is expected by October 15, 2029, unless an earlier election is called due to specific political circumstances such as a loss of confidence in the government or a snap election call by the prime minister.
