Provincially the last general election was on 27 February 2025, for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario; federally, on 28 April 2025. Councils are elected on the fourth Monday in October every four years, says the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, so Brampton votes next on 28 October 2030. Counts from April 2025 can’t appear here, since Elections Canada allows only non-commercial reuse of them.
