The 40th Nova Scotia general election will be held when the provincial government passes "an Order in Council calling an election", as the Nova Scotia Elections Act does not provide for fixed election dates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sample Election Calendar )〕 No Assembly may continue for longer than five years and forty days after the issuing of writs for the previous election,〔(House of Assembly Act ), section 8(1).〕 making an election probable for 2018, as the writs were issued on September 7, 2013. Upon the expiration of the Legislature, on October 18, 2018, the Lieutenant Governor is not required to call an election, but section 8(2) of the House of Assembly Act requires Parliament to meet once in each half of the calendar year. The election must be held on a Tuesday at least 30 days after the date the writ of election is issued, but no maximum period is provided.〔(Elections Act 2011 ), section 29(b).〕 ==Timeline== * October 8, 2013 – The Liberal Party, led by Stephen McNeil, wins the 2013 Nova Scotia general election, the Progressive Conservative Association become the official opposition, and the governing New Democratic Party are relegated to third party status. * November 23, 2013 – Darrell Dexter resigns as leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), and MLA Maureen MacDonald becomes acting leader. *June 13, 2014 – Hants West MLA Chuck Porter leaves the Progressive Conservative caucus, and sits as an independent. * March 16, 2015 – MLA for Dartmouth South Allan Rowe died from an aneurysm. * April 2, 2015 – MLAs for Cape Breton Centre Frank Corbett and Sydney-Whitney Pier Gordie Gosse resign. * July 14, 2015 – Three byelections are held.
