when is the canadian election 2025

The next Canadian federal election is scheduled for April 28, 2025. This election was called following the dissolution of Parliament by the Governor General on March 23, 2025, after Prime Minister Mark Carney advised it. The election is to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament. This April 28 date is earlier than the fixed date law that sets federal elections on the third Monday in October in the fourth calendar year after the previous election, which would have been October 20, 2025, but the Prime Minister's request led to the earlier date this time.
