The 29th Saskatchewan general election, is scheduled to be held no later than November 2, 2020 - unless it happens to coincide with a federal election campaign, at which point it would be moved to April 5, 2021 - to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan. The previous election re-elected the Saskatchewan Party to its third consecutive majority government under the leadership of Brad Wall.
Under The Legislative Assembly Act, 2007 (Saskatchewan), the election "must be held on the first Monday of November in the fourth calendar year after the last general election". As the last election was held in 2016, that date would be November 2, 2020. 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; in this case: April 5, 2021. This law does not infringe on the Lieutenant Governor's right to dissolve the Legislative Assembly at an earlier date on the Premier's advice.
