Provincial Executive Elections
Every year the party holds internal elections for our governing Provincial Executive (PE). The PE is responsible for the Green Party of Ontario’s governance, similar to a board of directors, and sets the strategic goals, annual plan and budget for the party.
Successful candidates will be announced soon after voting closes on November 30th, 2026.
The following positions are up for election:
Note that elected pairs of regional representatives will be of different gender identities.*
- 2 Northern Regional Representatives
- 2 Horseshoe Regional Representatives
- 2 Central Regional Representatives
- 2 Young Greens of Ontario (YGO) Co-Chairs
- 1 Secretary
* As an organization, we value diversity and want to ensure that the voices on our Provincial Executive reflect those of our amazing membership. For this reason, wherever two representatives are elected for a given role (e.g. regional reps or YGO co-chairs), we require that the two representatives be of different genders.
