The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer announced that the Willowdale Green Party Association has been deregistered under the Canada Elections Act, effective 2026-03-31.

What it does#
- Announces the deregistration of the Willowdale Green Party Association under the Canada Elections Act, with the deregistration taking effect on March 31, 2026.

Who's affected#
- Members, officers, and supporters of the Willowdale Green Party Association are the most directly affected.
- Local voters in the Willowdale district and anyone tracking party or association registrations at the federal level may notice the change.
- It is unclear from the notice whether any other organizations or individuals are affected.
Why it matters#
- Deregistration removes the association’s official registered status under the federal election law, which changes how it appears in official records.
