Canadians will participate in an election on April 28 to decide the future leadership of the government between the ruling Liberal Party and the opposing Conservatives. Eligible voters include all Canadian citizens, but the chief electoral officer is prohibited from voting. The first past the post electoral system means that the candidate with the most votes wins a seat. Advanced voting begins soon, and most Canadians have been notified of their polling places.
Canadians will vote on April 28 in an election that will determine which party will lead its government: the Liberal Party, currently in power under Mark Carney, or the Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre.
All Canadian citizens, including prisoners and people who live outside the country, are eligible to vote with one exception: the chief electoral officer cannot cast a ballot during their tenure.
Canada uses a first past the post system, where the candidate with the most votes wins the seat, regardless of whether this is a majority.
Voters have a single task: to select their local member in the House of Commons, as the next Parliament will have 342 members.
