Canada PM Carney Announces December 7 By-elections in Six Ridings Across Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced in Ottawa, Ontario, on November 1 that federal by-elections will be held on December 7 in six electoral districts, filling the seats currently vacant in the House of Commons. The six ridings are Brantford—Brant South and Scarborough North in Ontario; Laurier—Sainte-Marie, Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie and Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton in Quebec; and Yorkton—Melville in Saskatchewan.
The list released by the Prime Minister's Office shows the six seats were previously held by the Liberals, the New Democratic Party, the Bloc Québécois and the Conservatives. Elections Canada offices will open in the six ridings, and the by-elections will restore full representation for those districts.
According to Elections Canada information released the same day, voters who have lived in one of the ridings since November 1 are eligible to vote, and advance polls will run from November 27 to 30. Official candidate lists will be confirmed by Elections Canada after nominations close.
