Talk:By-elections to the 44th Canadian Parliament

Carolyn Bennett resignation

She seems to pulling the same routine as Annamie Paul, announcing she will resign but not actually doing it. The House of Commons website says she's still a member; Elections Canada hasn't announced a vacancy. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 07:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

I came across many related pages, that had her tenure as MP ending last year. If you want to undo all my edits & other's edits, then be my guest. GoodDay (talk) 07:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Ugh. No, I'll just do Bennett's own page. It looks like everyone assumed she'd file her paperwork and she never did; maybe she's using Nadine Dorries for a role model. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 16:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Latest Durham By-Election can be held is March 18, 2024

Got reverted so i'll be clear about it, subsection 57(3) of the Canada Elections Act [1] "(3) Subject to subsection (4) and section 56.2, polling day shall be on a Monday.", the already linked source [2] states " by-election must be held on a Monday, at least 36 days but no more than 50 days after the day the by-election is announced". March 19th and 20th 2024 are a Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, latest the Durham By-Election can be held is March 18, 2024. WanukeX (talk) 02:20, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I missed the Monday part when I scanned the Elections Canada announcement. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 20:42, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Halifax

There is no comment whatsoever about Andy Fillmore resigning or dying or whatever. You can't have a byelection unless there's a vacancy. All the other byelection ridings have a comment explaining why and when the riding is vacant. GBC (talk) 22:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Expected byelections are added when a sitting member announces they plan to resign; waiting until their resignation takes effect isn't necessary. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 00:18, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

But it doesn't say if Fillmore has declared any intentions. That's my point. GBC (talk) 13:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

It's in the citation. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 14:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Longest Ballot

LaSalle-Emard seems to be the current target of the Longest Ballot group. There are already some 15 candidates with the same official agent surname as previously. GBC (talk) 17:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
