Election to be Called for York-Simcoe Seat of Ontario Legislative Assembly

On June 5, Ontario’s Chief Electoral Officer Greg Essensa received an official warrant from the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly confirming the seat for the York—Simcoe  electoral district was vacant. Caroline Anne Mulroney Lapham, who has held the seat since 2018, resigned on June 5, citing her intention to focus on her personal life. As required by law, a by-election for the seat must be called by December 2, 2026, which is within six months of the Chief Electoral Officer’s notice. The earliest possible date for the election is July 9, and the latest possible date would be December 31, 2026.
