Summary

Summary#

This notice from the House of Commons reports that, under the Canada Elections Act, two local electoral district associations will be deregistered. The deregistration takes effect on August 31, 2025 and names the groups being removed from the register.

What it does#

  • Under subsection 467(2) of the Canada Elections Act, the following registered electoral district associations are listed as deregistered, effective August 31, 2025:
    • Okanagan-Kootenay PPC Association (electoral district 59030)
    • Sault Ste. Marie - Algoma PPC District Association
  • The same Gazette page also notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended applications for private bills) was previously published on May 24, 2025.

Who's affected#

  • Members, officers, volunteers, and supporters of the Okanagan-Kootenay PPC Association and the Sault Ste. Marie - Algoma PPC District Association are the most directly affected.
  • The notice was filed by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer; the Gazette entry does not explain the reason for the deregistration.

Why it matters#

  • Being deregistered means these groups will no longer appear on the official list of registered electoral district associations as of August 31, 2025.
  • The Gazette entry does not describe the practical consequences or the reason for deregistration, so anyone connected to these groups should contact Elections Canada or the office named in the Gazette for details.
