28th Saskatchewan general election
The 28th Saskatchewan general election , will be held on April 4, 2016, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan .
Under The Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act, 2007 (Saskatchewan), the election "must be held" on the first Monday of November in the fourth calendar year following the previous election. As the last election was held in 2011, that date would be November 2, 2015. However, the act also provides that if the election period would overlap with a federal election period, the provincial election is to be postponed until the first Monday of the following April.[ 1] next federal election is scheduled for October 19, 2015, overlapping election periods by approximately two weeks. Since the federal Conservatives called the election on August 2, 2015 for October 19, the Saskatchewan election will then be held on April 4, 2016. The Lieutenant Governor retains the power to dissolve the Legislative Assembly early.
