Sometime before August 11, a by-election will be held for the seat of District 9 Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island.

This by-election will be called because of the resignation of MLA Natalie Jameson, who resigned on February 11. Jameson will be the Conservative Party of Canada’s candidate for Charlottetown in the next federal election.

The Election Act states the by-election Writ of Election must be issued within six months from the date the members seat is vacated.
