Incumbent Premier

Doug Ford
Progressive Conservative



The 2022 Ontario general election will be held on June 2, 2022, to elect Members of the Provincial Parliament to serve in the 43rd Parliament of Ontario. As of December 2016, Ontario elections are held on the first Thursday in June in the fourth calendar year following the previous general election.[4]

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario can be dissolved earlier by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario on a motion of no confidence or if the Premier triggers a snap election. Since the current government has a majority, it is a near-certainty that any non-confidence vote would not pass. In terms of an unexpected snap election, on October 5, 2020, Ontario MPPs voted unanimously in favour of a motion stating that the government will not call an election prior to the fixed election date in 2022.[5][6]

On May 3, 2022, Premier Doug Ford met with the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario to request dissolution of the legislature and for writs of election be drawn up.[7]
