Canadian federal elections

Canadian federal elections determine the composition of the House of Commons, where Members of Parliament (MPs) represent various regions. Citizens aged 18 and over vote for their preferred party’s candidate in local ridings. The political party with the most seats usually forms the government, with its leader becoming Prime Minister. Elections are held approximately every four years but can occur sooner. The process involves campaign periods, voting, vote counting, and the official declaration of results. This system ensures representation of diverse views across Canada and enables citizens to influence national policies through their elected representatives.
