Premier before election Kathleen Wynne Liberal Premier - designate Doug Ford Progressive Conservative The Ontario general election of 2018 was held on June 7, 2018, to elect the 124 members of the 42nd Parliament of Ontario. The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, won a majority government. The Ontario New Democratic Party, led by Andrea Horwath, formed the Official Opposition. The Ontario Liberal Party, led by incumbent Premier Kathleen Wynne, lost official party status in recording both the worst result in the party 's 161 - year history and the worst result for any incumbent governing party in Ontario. The Green Party of Ontario won a seat for the first time in their history, while the Trillium Party of Ontario lost its single seat gained by a floor - crossing during the 41st Parliament of Ontario. Twenty - four other parties and numerous independent candidates also received votes.

The Far North Electoral Boundaries Commission, appointed in 2016, recommended the creation of the additional districts of Kiiwetinoong and Mushkegowuk -- James Bay, carved out from the existing Kenora -- Rainy River and Timmins -- James Bay ridings, which accordingly raised the total number of seats to 124. This was implemented through the Representation Statute Law Amendment Act, 2017. The new districts have been criticized as undemocratic, as they have a population of around 30,000 people compared with over 120,000 people in some southern Ontario constituencies. National Post columnist Josh Dehaas suggested that the small population sizes of the ridings might violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In September 2017, a research firm analyzed the impact of redistribution if the boundaries had been in effect for the previous election : 2014 Ontario election results transposed to ridings for 2018 election Party Size of lead Totals > 20 pp 10 - 20 pp < 10 pp vs Liberal < 10 pp vs PC < 10 pp vs NDP 3 - way race Liberal 26 24 -- 8 7 69 Progressive Conservative 9 8 13 -- 32 New Democratic 14 -- -- 23 Totals 49 36 17 8 5 9 124 Jump up ^ less than a 10 pp lead, but 3rd place is within 15 pp of 1st place Change of fixed election date Under legislation passed in 2005, Ontario elections were to be held on `` the first Thursday in October in the fourth calendar year following polling day in the most recent general election '', subject to the Lieutenant - Governor of Ontario 's power to call an election earlier. As the current government had a majority, the passage of a non-confidence motion was not a likely option for calling an early election, though Premier Kathleen Wynne stated in June 2015 that she would likely advise to dissolve the Legislature in spring 2018 rather than in October of that year in order to avoid any conflict with municipal elections and take advantage of better weather and longer days. To put this on a statutory footing, in October 2016 Attorney General of Ontario Yasir Naqvi introduced a bill in the Legislative Assembly which, in part, included moving the election date to `` the first Thursday in June in the fourth calendar year following polling day in the most recent general election '', and it came into effect in December 2016. Prelude to campaign The Ontario Liberal Party attempted to win their fifth consecutive general election, dating back to 2003. The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario won their first election since 1999, and the Ontario New Democratic Party attempted to win their second election ( having previously won in 1990 ). Numerous other extra-parliamentary political parties also vied for votes. The Liberals under Kathleen Wynne headed into the 2018 campaign trailing far behind the Progressive Conservatives, led by former Toronto City Councillor Doug Ford. The Liberals ' standing with voters had been badly hurt when they partially privatized Hydro One in 2015, after campaigning against it in the 2014 election, as well as rising criticism over `` ballooning provincial debt, high electricity prices and costly, politically expedient decisions ''. In early April, the CBC published their analysis of aggregate polls showing that Ford and the Progressive Conservatives were ahead of the other parties averaging 42.1 % support, compared to 27.2 % for the governing Liberals, 23.4 % for the NDP and 5.7 % for the Greens and with 11 Liberal MPPs announcing they would not be running for re-election or having already resigned their seats in the months leading up to the election. According to Wynne, voters were offered a `` stark choice '', between `` cutting and removing supports from people '' with `` billions in cuts '', which she alleged the Progressive Conservatives would do if they won the election, and expanding investments in social programs such as prescription drugs and childcare, which the Liberal platform promised. In March 2018, the Liberals tabled a pre-election budget in the provincial legislature which promised billions of dollars in new spending for free childcare and expanded coverage for dental care but replaced the government 's previous balanced budget with a $6.7 billion deficit projected to last until 2024 -- 2025. PC leader Doug Ford called the budget a `` spending spree ''. Mood of the voters According to Toronto Star columnist Susan Delacourt, voters were motivated by a desire for change -- such desire being more driven by emotion than by ideology -- and one researcher estimated that more than half of the electorate was undecided in who they were likely to vote for. The Huffington Post reported that half of voters were basing their vote intentions on how best to block the party they oppose. In February 2018, Campaign Research conducted a gap analysis on voter intentions in Ontario, and determined the following : Voter gap analysis by party ( February 2018 ) Liberal PC NDP Highlights 64 % 6 % 6 % 10 % 13 % 51 % 7 % 6 % 10 % 26 % 61 % 9 % 13 % 6 % 11 % PCs had the lowest proportion of respondents ( 51 % ) not willing to vote for them at all, while the Liberals had the highest such proportion ( 64 % ) At 13 %, the Liberals ' `` hard support '' was only half that for the PCs For PCs, the strength of `` hard support '' increases with age, and older demographics tend to be more reliable voters Conversely, such support for the Liberals and NDP significantly declines with age, with almost 3⁄4 of those aged 55 + not willing to vote for them at all Where : = Not voting for party ; not considered = Not voting for party ; shared consideration = Not voting for part ; exclusive consideration = Will vote for party ; others considered = Will vote for party ; no others considered Results See also : Candidates of the Ontario general election, 2018 ↓ 76 40 7 PC NDP Lib.
