The 44th Ontario general election is tentatively scheduled to be held on February 27, 2025, to elect the 44th Parliament of Ontario.^[1]

As of December 2016, general elections in Ontario must be held on the first Thursday in June in the fourth calendar year following the previous general election^[2] unless the Legislative Assembly of Ontario is dissolved earlier by the lieutenant governor of Ontario on the advice of the premier of Ontario, a motion of no confidence is successfully moved, or there is a failure of the Assembly to grant supply. On January 24, 2025, Premier Doug Ford confirmed that he would be asking the Lieutenant Governor to dissolve the legislature and call for a snap election.^[1]

The incumbent Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (PC) government, led by Premier Doug Ford since 2018, will be seeking re-election to a third consecutive term. The PC's primary opponents are the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) led by Marit Stiles and the Ontario Liberal Party (OLP) led by Bonnie Crombie.
