# When will Canada announce a snap election?

Live · $11,608 traded · listed on Kalshi

## About

A "snap election" is a national election for the legislature or head of government called to occur at least 90 days earlier than either the previously scheduled election date or the latest constitutionally or legally required date. The announcement must be made by a person or body with the legal authority to call such elections, must specify an actual election date, and must occur after Issuance, regardless of when the election is scheduled to take place.

This market concerns a general election to the House of Commons. By-elections to fill individual vacancies do not qualify.
