While under Canadian electoral law, federal elections must be held every four years, the Prime Minister also has the option of asking the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and decide to hold the election early. This is precisely what Justin Trudeau did by launching the election campaign on August 15, 2021. Canadians planning to follow this campaign most closely were primarily those intending to vote for the two dominant political parties. More than half of potential Green Party voters, 51 percent, planned to follow the campaign only at key moments.
