Premier Doug Ford has announced his plan to call an early provincial election next week, setting the stage for Ontarians to go to the polls by the end of February.

Ford said he will meet with the lieutenant governor on Jan. 28 and the election will be called the following day. The move will send Ontarians to the polls on Feb. 27, well before the fixed election date of June 2026.
