Canada's most recent federal election was held on April 28, 2025. This election was called by Prime Minister Mark Carney and was the first to use a new 343-seat electoral map. The campaign lasted 36 days from the dissolution of Parliament on March 23, 2025, to the election day on April 28, 2025. The election resulted in the Liberal Party winning a fourth term with a minority government. Under the fixed-date provisions of the Canada Elections Act, the next federal election is scheduled for October 20, 2025, which is the third Monday in October in the fourth calendar year after the previous election. However, an election can be called earlier if the Governor General dissolves Parliament on the advice of the Prime Minister. Therefore, the next scheduled federal election in Canada is on October 20, 2025, unless an earlier election is called.
