when is canada election 2025

The most recent federal election in Canada was held on April 28, 2025, to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament. This election was called after the Parliament was dissolved on March 23, 2025. The election issues included the cost of living, housing, crime, and tariffs from the United States. The Liberal Party won the election with a minority government. According to Canadian law, the next scheduled federal election must be held no later than October 15, 2029, which is the third Monday in October, four years after the 2025 election, unless an earlier election is called. So for the year 2025, the Canadian federal election was on April 28. There is no federal election scheduled specifically for the year 2020; the fixed election dates are every four years with the last one before 2025 being in 2021 (September 20, 2021) and the next one scheduled four years after 2025 in 2029 (October 15, 2029) unless an early election is called.
