1971 Ontario general election

The 1971 Ontario general election was held to choose members of the provincial legislature. The Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, led by Bill Davis, won a majority of seats, forming the government. The opposition included the Ontario New Democratic Party and the Ontario Liberal Party. This election marked a transition after Premier Bill Davis's predecessor, John Robarts, retired. Voters evaluated parties based on their policies on economy, education, and social issues. The result maintained the Progressive Conservatives’ political dominance in Ontario, ensuring Davis continued as Premier and set the stage for policy changes in the early 1970s.
