Voters went to the polls in PEI on April 3rd, 2023.

 

In the previous provincial election in 2019, seven women MLAs were elected in PEI, which was the highest number and percentage that the province had ever elected . In the 2023 provincial election, PEI elected an equal number of women, seven.

 

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 PEI sends at least 13 women or gender diverse MLAs to the PEI 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.

This tracker uses publicly available information to track women and gender diverse candidates who put their name on the ballot in the upcoming 2023 Prince Edward Island General Election. It will be regularly updated by Equal Voice, please report errors or omissions to [email protected] . Please credit “Equal Voice” if using this data.
