Think you have election fatigue now? Just wait until 2015

By the end of October, Ontarians will have gone to the polls three times within 12 months (starting with last fall’s municipal election and ending with this fall’s provincial election).

But in 2015, they will go to the polls twice within the same month.

The first time will be for the next provincial election, which according to law is slated for the first Thursday in October every four years — or Oct.1, 2015.

And the second time is for the next federal election, which is scheduled for Oct. 19, 2015 under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s set election law.

That is, of course, assuming Harper sticks with his fixed election date. If he did, it would be the first time he did so since the fixed election date law was passed in the Accountability Act in 2006.
