--------------------
Yep, Federally every 5 years, max, but the rub is the ruling party can call an election any time they want. This was abused by the Liberal party many times in the 20th century and was one of the tactics they used to rule for most of the century.
There have been many requests and attempts to change that. The most popular idea is a fixed election date every 4 years. The problem is getting that changed. It would have to be supported by the very party in power and who votes to reduce their own power?
We also still have a Liberal party and they still have dreams of regaining power and as a result are not yet supportive of removing power from the ruling party.
