Revised Federal Voter Lists Notice

Summary#

This is a short notice from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer about a Canada Elections Act item titled “Determination of number of electors — Revised lists of electors.” The Gazette entry says that the full notice was published as Extra Vol. 159, No. 6 on April 22, 2025; the Canada Gazette listing itself is dated April 26, 2025.

What it does#

• Announces that a formal notice under the Canada Elections Act (about the number of electors and revised lists) was published elsewhere in the Gazette.
• Does not include the substance of that determination (no numbers or changes are shown in this brief entry).
• Points readers to the full notice in Extra Vol. 159, No. 6 for details.

Who's affected#

• Voters and residents whose names appear on federal voter lists could be affected if the underlying determination changes counts or lists.
• Political parties, candidates, and local election officials who use elector lists for planning and campaigning.
• The Office of the Chief Electoral Officer and Elections Canada staff who manage the lists and related processes.

The Gazette item itself does not give the specific elector counts or which districts (if any) were changed.

Why it matters#

• Determinations about the number of electors and revised lists feed into how elections are run: who is on the voter list, how resources are allocated, and how turnout and representation are measured.
• Even though this particular entry is just a publication notice, anyone impacted by changes to voter lists will need to consult the full notice in Extra Vol. 159, No. 6 (published April 22, 2025) to see the details.
