The 45th Canadian federal election will take place on or before 20 October 2025 to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament.
The date of the election is not yet known.[1] Since the current government is a minority government, the election can happen before the scheduled date if the Governor General of Canada dissolves Parliament or at the recommendation of the Prime Minister of Canada for a snap election.[2][3][4]

Opinion polling
[change | change source]Notes
[change | change source]- ↑ A redistribution is required to take effect by 2024, which will increase the number of seats.
- ↑ Though parties registered with Elections Canada can field candidates in any riding they wish, the Bloc Québécois has never fielded candidates outside of Quebec (78 seats). Thus they currently cannot gain a majority in parliament.
- ↑ Ran in Beauce, lost.
- ↑ Ran in Burnaby North—Seymour in 2019, lost. Kuttner did not run in 2021.
