Canadian Federal By-election for Battle River-Crowfoot (Alberta) Called for August 18

Earlier this month, the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, Stéphane Perrault, had received official notice from the Speaker of the House of Commons that the seat was vacant. MP Damien Kurek had resigned in order to allow Pierre Poilievre to run for his place in the House of Commons.
