- Timeline of Canadian elections
This article provides a timeline of elections in Canada , including all the provincial, territorial and federal elections. The information starts from when each province was formed or entered the Confederation, and continues through to the present day. The background colour indicates which party won the election. Several provinces held elections before joining Canada, but only their post-Confederation elections are shown.These include:
*Ontario's first 13 elections asUpper Canada , from 1792 to 1840;
*Quebec's first 15 elections asLower Canada , from 1792 to 1840;
*the 8 joint elections of Ontario and Quebec as theProvince of Canada , from 1840 to Confederation;
*New Brunswick's first 21 elections, beginning in 1785 (the 21st Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick was elected in 1866, one year before Confederation, and continued until 1870, three years after Confederation);
*Nova Scotia's first 23 elections, beginning in 1758;
*Prince Edward Island's first 25 elections, beginning in 1769; and
*Newfoundland's first 28 elections, beginning in 1832.The most recent election in most provinces is shown with a box equivalent to five years of government, as this the maximum length of office as set by the constitution. However, elections can be called at any time by a provincial government. The federal government and five provinces have changed to fixed election dates every four years. For these legislatures, the box is shown as running until the next scheduled election, but one could still be earlier if the government falls due to a
motion of no confidence . The provinces are:
*British Columbia,
*Ontario,
*New Brunswick,
*Newfoundland and Labrador, and
*Prince Edward Island.1867 - 1899

The table below shows how many elections each party has won in each province and territory. Note that Nunavut and the Northwest Territories use
consensus government , which means there are no political parties. Of thirty-nine federal elections, twenty-three have won by the Liberals, fifteen have been by the Conservatives, and one by a coalition.Party BC AB SK MB ON QC NB NS PEI NL YU NT NU Total Canadian politics/party colours/Liberal width=25> Liberal 8 4 11 11 15 23 10 23 21 11 1 0 0 138 Canadian politics/party colours/NDP> NDP 3 0 6 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 20 Canadian politics/party colours/CCF> CCF 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 Canadian politics/party colours/Social Credit> Social Credit 11 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 Canadian politics/party colours/United Farmers> United Farmers 0 3 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 Canadian politics/party colours/Saskatchewan Party> Saskatchewan Party - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - 1 Canadian politics/party colours/Union Nationale> Union Nationale - - - - - 6 - - - - - - - 6 Canadian politics/party colours/Progressive_Conservatives > (Progressive) Conservative 5 11 2 16 21 5 9 14 16 8 2 1 0 110 Canadian politics/party colours/Yukon Party> Yukon Party - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - 3 Canadian politics/party colours/PQ> Parti Québécois - - - - - 4 - - - - - - - 4 Canadian politics/party colours/Coalition> Coalition 2 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 5 Canadian politics/party colours/Independents> Non-partisan 9 - - 3 - - 16* - - - 27 20 2 77 Total 38 27 26 39 39 38 35 37 38 19 36 21 2 395 * Although the 21st New Brunswick election is shown in the main table, it took place a year before New Brunswick entered the Canadian confederation.
