The 66th Prince Edward Island general election is tentatively scheduled to be held on October 7, 2019, as the Prince Edward Island Elections Act requires a provincial election to be held on the first Monday of October in the fourth calendar year unless it is called earlier by the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island due to a motion of no-confidence in the Legislative Assembly or at the request of the Premier.

In the previous election, on May 4, 2015, the Liberal party, led by Premier Wade MacLauchlan, was re-elected to a majority government. The official opposition Progressive Conservatives, under leader Rob Lantz, increased its seat count from 3 before the election to 8, despite Lantz losing in Charlottetown-Brighton. Meanwhile, the Green party, under leader Peter Bevan-Baker, won its first ever seat, Bevan-Baker's, in Kellys Cross-Cumberland. Despite the increase in the Progressive Conservatives' seat count, on September 23 of that year, Lantz stepped down as leader. On October 15, Borden-Kinkora MLA Jamie Fox was chosen as the interim leader of the Progressive Conservatives. The Progressive Conservatives will hold a leadership election on October 20, 2017.
