The 5th CMHoC General Election will take place on February 19, 2020 to elect the 338 members of the CMHoC's 5th model parliament. The writs of the election were dropped on February 10, 2020 by the Right Honourable thehowlinggreywolf in accordance with usual election rules.
The election will see Nathan Cullen's New Democratic Party fight to retain their majority government they won in the 4th General election. Challenging the government will be the Official Opposition party, the Conservatives led by Remy Lévesque, as well as the Labour Party (led by Paul Esterhazy), and the Liberal Party (led by Alexandre Chauvin) along with a host of other smaller parties. It is also the first election since the passage of bill C-24, Mixed Member Proportional Representation Act, changing the voting system from single member First-Past-the-Post to proportional representation.
