Municipal elections in Canada fall within the jurisdiction of the various provinces and territories. Therefore, they occur on different dates, depending on which province they are in. However, municipalities in the same province will usually have their elections on the same day. Unlike some provinces and territories, most municipalities have their elections on some sort of a fixed date.

OBS

municipal election: term usually used in the plural.
