General elections were held on October 6, 2011, to elect members of the 40th Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The Ontario Liberal Party was elected to a minority government, with the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (PC Party) serving as the Official Opposition and the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) serving as the third party. In the final result, Premier McGuinty's party fell one seat short of winning a majority government.
Under amendments passed by the Legislature in December 2005, Ontario elections were now held on fixed dates, namely the first Thursday of October every four years.http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/source/statutes/english/2005/elaws_src_s05035_e.htm May 19, 2008 Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2005 December 15, 2005 Service Ontario e-laws June 13, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110613213845/http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/source/statutes/english/2005/elaws_src_s05035_e.htm live The writ of election was issued by Lieutenant Governor David Onley on September 7, 2011.
The election saw a then–record low voter turnout of 48.2%, only to be surpassed by the 2022 Ontario general election with 44.06%.

Party leadership
In March 2009, PC Party leader John Tory stepped down as leader, with Tim Hudak elected to be his successor. Also in March 2009, Andrea Horwath replaced Howard Hampton as leader of the NDP at the leadership election. Thus, both the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP went into the election with a new leader. Green Party of Ontario leader Frank de Jong stepped down in November 2009; their leadership convention confirmed Mike Schreiner as their new leader. Dalton McGuinty won 95 per cent support for his leadership at an Ontario Liberal annual general meeting after the 2007 election, and ran again in 2011.
