A by-election will be held to elect a Member of Parliament (MP) to represent the Ontario federal constituency of Brantford—Brant South in the House of Commons of Canada for the remainder of the 45th Canadian Parliament.
The by-election was triggered due to the resignation of incumbent MP Larry Brock on September 18, 2026.
On September 16, 2026, just two days before his resignation, the riding's name was changed to Brantford—Brant South () from Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations as part of Bill C-25 of the 45th Canadian Parliament.
The date of the by-election must be announced between October 2, 2026, and March 20, 2027, and the election must be held on a Monday between 36 and 50 days after the announcement. The latest date the by-election could be held is May 3, 2027.
