2023 Manitoba Provincial Election

We are keeping track of all the women candidates who put their names on the ballot to provide a simple and accessible resource for Canadians, journalists, and political parties.

Manitoba Provincial Election 2023

Voters go the polls in Manitoba on October 3rd, 2023.

In the previous provincial election in 2019, 15 women MLAs were elected in Manitoba , which means that is 2 women less then in 2007 when Manitoba elected 17 women . In this provincial election, Equal Voice is still advocating for gender parity – that means at least 50% of nominated candidates and at least 50% of elected MLAs being women or gender diverse people. We hope that Manitoba sends at least 13 women or gender diverse MLAs to the Manitoba legislature.

We are keeping track of all the women and gender diverse candidates who put their name on the ballot. The goal is to provide a simple and accessible resource for Canadians, journalists, and political parties.

Candidates are included if party or candidate received >5% of votes in the riding in the last election
