Electoral District Associations Deregistered

Summary#

This Canada Gazette, Part I (published January 31, 2026), records House of Commons items and notices from the Chief Electoral Officer. It reports that several local political organizations will be removed from the official list of registered electoral district associations, effective February 15, 2026.

What it does#

• Notes that Standing Order 130 (about notices of intended private bills) was previously published on May 24, 2025. Contact details for the Private Members’ Business Office are given.
• Announces the deregistration, effective February 15, 2026, of these registered electoral district associations:
  • Association du parti vert Joliette–Manawan
  • Central East Ontario Regional PPC Association
  • Midtown-Toronto-PPC Association (in the electoral district of Toronto—St. Paul’s)
• The deregistration notices are dated January 15, 2026 and signed by Jeff Merrett, Senior Director, Political Financing. The Standing Order notice is signed by Eric Janse, Clerk of the House of Commons.

Who's affected#

• The three named local political organizations themselves.
• Local party members, volunteers and organizers who work with those associations in Joliette–Manawan, Central East Ontario, and Toronto—St. Paul’s.
• It is unclear from the notice whether other groups are affected.

Why it matters#

• Being removed from the register changes an organization’s formal status in the federal electoral system. That can matter for how a local party group operates and is recognized.
• People involved with these specific associations — members, volunteers, and potential local candidates — are the most likely to notice practical effects.
