The 2024 Borden-Kinkora (District 19) provincial by-election was originally scheduled for February 5, 2024.[1] However, because of impending weather conditions, Elections PEI announced the election would be postponed until Tuesday, February 6, 2024, with the same voting locations in place.[2] It was then postponed again to February 7.[3] It was triggered by the resignation of Progressive Conservative Jamie Fox from the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island.[4]

It was won by Green candidate Matt MacFarlane.[5]
