When Trillium votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Hamilton council | 26 October 2026 | 28 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Ontario | 27 February 2025 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election. Councils are elected on the fourth Monday in October every four years, says the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, so Hamilton votes next on 28 October 2030. The Legislative Assembly of Ontario was last elected on 27 February 2025, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Not on this page. The open lists stop short of party labels, council budgets and band councils, so those are missing here.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
