In 2015 the provincial districts were updated, and Oshawa gained parts of the city which were previously part of the electoral district of [[Whitby—Oshawa (provincial electoral district)|Whitby-Oshawa]]. The [[Ontario general election, 2018|June 7, 2018 provincial election]] will be the first in which the new borders are used.
