Canadian Federal Election

The Canadian federal election is the process by which members of the House of Commons, the lower chamber of Canada's Parliament, are chosen by the public to represent electoral districts across the country. Held approximately every four years, these elections determine which political party forms the federal government. Canada operates under a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, where the leader of the party winning the most seats typically becomes Prime Minister. The elections are overseen by Elections Canada and follow a first-past-the-post voting system. Since Confederation in 1867, these elections have shaped the nation's political landscape, reflecting its evolving values, regional interests, and democratic principles.
