The 42nd Ontario Canada general election is scheduled to be held on June 7, 2018.
Ontario general elections are held every four years on the first Thursday in June.
In Ontario general elections, voters in each district or “riding” elect members to the Legislative Assembly, Ontario uses a Westminster-style parliamentary government, like at the federal level in Canada. The Premier (Ontario's head of government) and the Executive Council of Ontario are then appointed by the Legislative Assembly based on majority support. The Official Opposition is the largest party not in control of the government, with its leader recognized as Leader of the Opposition by the Speaker.
If the election were being held today, Doug Ford former Toronto city councillor and brother of the late Rob Ford and the Progressive Conservatives very likely would form the next government of Ontario. The currently stand at 42.1 per cent support, putting them well ahead of their rivals. Kathleen Wynne's Liberals trail with 27.2 per cent, followed by the New Democrats at 23.4 per cent and the Greens at 5.7 per cent.
