2027 Council elections

Nomination period OPEN

2027 elections occurring under By-law 52

Although By-law 53 was approved by members in August 2025, the 2027 election cycle begins before By-law 53 will come into force. As such, the 2027 elections will be conducted under By-law 52 for the duration—even if By-law 53 comes into force while the election cycle is underway.

This continuity will ensure election integrity and avoid confusion for members and candidates.

Each year approximately one-third of CMPA Council positions are scheduled for nomination and election. Any practising CMPA member in an Area and Division with position(s) scheduled for nomination and election may seek nomination.
