On November 27, Canada held a special election to fill a vacant seat in Parliament. For the first time, a Green Party nominee placed second, outpolling two parties that regularly elect members to the Canadian Parliament. The election was in London-North-Centre, Ontario Province. The district has a large student population. The University of Western Ontario is in this district.

Seven candidates appeared on the ballot. The results were: Liberal 34.9%; Green 25.9%; Conservative 24.4%; New Democratic 14.1%. The other seven-tenths of 1% was split among the Progressive Canadian Party, the Canadian Action Party, and an independent candidate.

Ballot access in Canada, as well as in Great Britain, is equal for all candidates. A petition of 100 signatures plus a filing fee is required for everyone.
