Ontario Provincial Election 2025 Edition
Public discourse and civic participation take many forms during
an election. Among other things, individuals may choose to donate
to a political party, grassroots organizations may lobby for their
preferred policy positions, and of course, electors will cast their
ballots for their preferred candidates and political parties. There
are rules that carefully govern these activities in Ontario and
interactions between political entities and stakeholders –
whether it be individuals or organizations.
In this article, as part of McMillan LLP's ongoing coverage
of this year's Ontario provincial election, we discuss the
Election Act, employer obligations, and employee rights
when it comes to elections and the workplace. Ontario's
provincial election is taking place on February 27, 2025. The
election period began at 12:01 AM on the day the writ of election
was issued, and runs until the last polling day.
