when is the next federal election in canada

The next federal election in Canada is scheduled for April 28, 2025. This date was set after the Governor General dissolved Parliament on March 23, 2025, following the Prime Minister's advice. The election will elect members to the 45th Canadian Parliament and features a new electoral map with 343 seats. The fixed-date provisions would have set the election for October 20, 2025, but it was called earlier this time.
