Ontario to scrap fixed election dates, raise donation limits under new bill

Ontario's bill removes fixed election dates to adapt to changing threats, raises donation limits to $5,000, and makes permanent a $2.54 per vote subsidy for parties.

  • Ontario's attorney general Doug Downey proposed eliminating fixed election dates, calling them "American-style," which would allow more flexibility in scheduling elections.
  • The proposed bill would increase individual donation limits to political parties from $3,400 to $5,000 and tie future increases to inflation.
  • A quarterly per-vote subsidy for political parties would become permanent, ensuring a balance of public and private spending in elections, according to Downey.
  • Downey stated that these reforms would improve Ontario's electoral process, allowing governments to seek fresh mandates as needed.
