In Saskatchewan, however, legislation has been enacted stating that unless called sooner, a general election must be held the first Monday of November in the fourth calendar year after the last general election. The executive — the Premier and the Cabinet — remains in place throughout the election period. Thus, while there is no elected Assembly during an election, there is a continuous government. |
