The next Canada federal election is scheduled for Monday, October 15, 2029 , under Canada’s fixed-date election law, which sets federal votes for the third Monday in October in the fourth calendar year after the last election.

The last federal election was a snap election held on April 28, 2025 , which elected the current (45th) Parliament.

Key dates at a glance

  • Last federal election: April 28, 2025.
  • Next scheduled federal election: October 15, 2029 (can be called earlier if Parliament is dissolved).

Why that date?

  • Canada’s fixed-date rule says federal elections should be on the third Monday in October in the fourth calendar year after the previous vote.
  • Since Canadians last voted federally in 2025 , the fixed date falls in October 2029 , landing on October 15.

However, a prime minister can still request an early dissolution of Parliament, which would trigger an election before 2029, as happened with the snap election in April 2025.
