dissolution (legislative assembly)The
legislative assembly
is said to be
dissolved when the
lieutenant governor
ends a session of
the legislative assembly and starts the process for holding a
general election
. In this
matter, the lieutenant governor acts on the advice of the
premier
.
Until 2002, members of the Legislative Assembly of British
Columbia held their seat for five years from the date of the
previous general election but, since 2002, provision has been made
for the legislative assembly to have a
fixed term
of four years.
