The 2024 British Columbia general election will be held on or before October 19, 2024, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly to serve in the 43rd parliament of the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Background

Section 23 of British Columbia's Constitution Act provides that general elections occur on the third Saturday in October of the fourth calendar year after the last election. [1] [2] The same section, though, makes the fixed election date subject to the lieutenant governor's prerogative to dissolve the Legislative Assembly as they see fit (in practice, on the advice of the province's premier or following a vote of non-confidence). [1] [3]

The Electoral Boundaries Commission was required to complete redistricting following the 2020 general election. The government appointed commissioners in October 2021. Their final report was completed April 3, 2023, [4] and the Legislative Assembly approved the Electoral Districts Act on April 25. The number of seats in the Legislative Assembly will increase from 87 to 93, with new seats in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Langley, Langford, and Kelowna. [5]

The 2024 Saskatchewan general election will be held on or before October 28, 2024, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

The 44th Ontario general election is tentatively scheduled to be held on June 4, 2026. As of December 2016, Ontario elections are held on the first Thursday in June in the fourth calendar year following the previous general election, unless the Legislative Assembly of Ontario is dissolved earlier by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario due to advice from the Premier of Ontario, a motion of no confidence or the failure of the Assembly to grant supply. Such a dissolution is unlikely as the current government has a majority.

A by-election was held in the provincial riding of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant in British Columbia on June 24, 2023, to elect a new member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia following the resignation of NDP MLA Melanie Mark.
