Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office announced on Nov. 1, 2026, that voters in six Canadian constituencies would choose federal representatives Dec. 7, 2026, to fill vacant House of Commons seats.
Ontario’s races are in Brantford—Brant South and Scarborough North. Quebec’s are in Laurier—Sainte-Marie, Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie and Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton; Yorkton—Melville is the Saskatchewan contest.
Global News reported that Alexandre Boulerice and Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay left Parliament to contest Quebec’s provincial election and won. The outlet also said Larry Brock returned to Crown prosecutor work and Shaun Chen resigned, citing health concerns after a 2025 car crash.
Section 57 of the Canada Elections Act limits by-election polling to Mondays and sets a 36-to-50-day interval from the writ’s issuance; the six votes are scheduled for Dec. 7, 2026.
