2025 Canadian federal election

A federal election was held on April 28, 2025, to elect members to the House of Commons. These members serve in the 45th Canadian Parliament. Governor General Mary Simon dropped the writs of election on March 23, 2025, after Prime Minister Mark Carney advised her to dissolve Parliament. This was the first election to use a new 343-seat electoral map based on the 2021 census. Key issues of the election campaign included the cost of living, housing, crime, U.S. tariffs against Canadian exports, and threats of annexation made by U.S. president Donald Trump.

The Liberal Party won a fourth term, emerging with a minority government for a third consecutive election. The election marked the first time they won the popular vote since 2015, doing so with the highest vote share for any party in a federal election since 1984, and their own highest vote share since 1980. The party's victory came after a substantial rebound in the polls, noted as being "one of the widest on record in any democracy". The election also saw the highest turnout since 1993, with 69.5% of Canada's 28 million eligible voters casting a ballot.

Both the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party improved upon their vote share and seat count from 2021, while the other parties all lost ground; this was the most concentrated the popular vote had been in support of the top two parties since 1958, with over 85% voting Liberal or Conservative. Consequently, the election delivered the New Democratic Party (NDP) their worst result in its history, as it received just over six percent of the popular vote and only won seven seats. As a result, the NDP lost official party status for the first time since 1993. The concentration of support for the two major parties was identified by commentators as marking a polarization in Canadian politics and a shift towards a two-party system.
