The 42nd Nova Scotia general election will be held on or before 15 July 2025 to elect members to the 65th General Assembly of Nova Scotia. During the 2021 election, the Progressive Conservatives included a commitment in their platform to introduce fixed election dates in the province. Under amendments to the provincial Elections Act introduced and passed in October 2021, the first fixed election date following the 2021 Nova Scotia general election is set as 15 July 2025.[1] All subsequent elections are supposed to take place on the third Tuesday in July of the fourth calendar year following the previous election, however Premier Tim Houston has recently indicated he may violate his own legislation.[2]
