The 31st Saskatchewan general election will elect members of the Legislative Assembly to serve in the 31st Saskatchewan Legislature. The Election Act requires that the election be held on October 30, 2028 but it may be called earlier.[1]

Background

[edit | edit source]

Since 2010, the Legislative Assembly has had a fixed four-year term. According to the 2019 amendment to the Legislative Assembly Act, 2007, "the first general election after the coming into force of this subsection must be held on Monday, October 26, 2020."[2][3] Subsequent elections, must occur "on the last Monday of October in the fourth calendar year after the last general election."[4] However, the act also provides that if the election period would overlap with a federal election period, the provincial election is to be postponed until the first Monday of the following April; in this case: April 7, 2025.[4] The fixed election law does not infringe on the Lieutenant Governor's right to dissolve the Legislative Assembly at an earlier date on the Premier's advice.
