Official Return: 45th General Election

Summary#

The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer published the formal Return of members elected at the 45th general election under the Canada Elections Act. The return appeared as Vol. 159, No. 7 on May 9, 2025 and as Vol. 159, No. 8 on May 13, 2025.

What it does#

• Announces that the official list (the “return”) of people elected in the 45th general election has been published in the Canada Gazette.
• Identifies the two extra Gazette issues where the return was printed: Vol. 159, No. 7 (May 9, 2025) and Vol. 159, No. 8 (May 13, 2025).

Who's affected#

• People elected to the House of Commons in the 45th general election.
• Political parties, campaign teams, journalists, and researchers who need the official, published record of election results.
• Members of the public who want the formal, government-published list of elected members.

Why it matters#

• This is the formal, official publication of who won seats in the 45th general election.
• It provides a government record that Parliament, media, and the public can rely on for confirmation and reference.
• The item is largely procedural: it notifies readers that the official return has been printed and filed.
