The 42nd Canadian general election, to elect members to the House of Commons of the 42nd Canadian Parliament, is tentatively scheduled for October 19, 2015,[1][2][3][4] in accordance with the Canada Elections Act[5] which requires that a general election be held on the third Monday of October in the fourth calendar year following polling day for the last general election,[6] to elect members to the House of Commons of the 42nd Canadian parliament. This does not diminish the power of the Monarch, or her representative in Canada, the governor general, to call an election at any time.[5] Calling an election early is conventionally done on the advice of the prime minister.
If the date set for the election conflicts with another election, or a cultural or religious holiday, the Chief Electoral Officer may recommend to the Governor in Council that the election be moved one day or one week later. If the date of the election is to be moved it must be announced no later than August 1, 2015.[5] In accordance with the Fair Representation Act, which received Royal Assent and came into force on December 16, 2011, the number of seats contested in this election will rise to 338, from the current 308.[7]
