Three Electoral Associations Deregistered

Summary#

This Gazette entry records the deregistration of three local party groups under the Canada Elections Act, effective January 31, 2025. The three named associations are the Montréal South‑East Regional PPC Association, the Interior BC PPC Association, and the Niagara Centre Federal Green Party Association. The notices are dated December 12, 2024.

What it does#

• Announces that the following electoral district associations are deregistered, effective January 31, 2025:
  • Montréal South‑East Regional PPC Association
  • Interior BC PPC Association
  • Niagara Centre Federal Green Party Association
• The notices are issued by Josée Villeneuve, Acting Deputy Chief Electoral Officer, and reference the Canada Elections Act.
• The page also repeats a housekeeping note about Standing Order 130, which was published in the Canada Gazette on November 20, 2021.

Who's affected#

• Local organizers, members and volunteers of the three named associations.
• The national parties these local groups belong to (the notices do not spell out the parties beyond the association names).
• Voters in the electoral districts covered by those associations may notice changes in local party activity.
• The notice does not identify any other groups, so it is unclear whether other associations are affected.

Why it matters#

• The Gazette notice ends the official registered status of these local party associations under the Canada Elections Act as of January 31, 2025.
• The notice itself does not explain the practical consequences. In general, deregistration typically means the local group no longer holds the formal privileges and responsibilities that come with registration (for example, how they handle fundraising and financial reporting), but this specific entry does not list those details.
